Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the

payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the

payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love

grandparents and grandchildren

fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

THE NORMAL ONE Ritika Bhattacharya

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love

grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love

grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

THE NORMAL ONE Ritika Bhattacharya

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the

payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the

41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the

41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the
40 40
41 41
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

THE NORMAL ONE Ritika Bhattacharya

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Dadubhairsquos Kitchen
Bipasha Mukherjee
I was jet-lagged and wide awake absorbing the all too familiar sound of the crack of dawn or lsquokak bhorrsquo
as we call it in Bengali ndash the sound of the first cups of tea being made at the tea stall across the street
Our house was on one of the busiest roads of Kolkata ndash buses cars mini buses and people moving all day
long accompanied by dust smoke soot and noise of the shrill air horns and the general hustle and bustle
of life The nightly couple of hours of silence and peace would end with the sweet sound from the tea stall
ndash that of the thin stainless steel spoon hitting against the glass cup while vigorously trying to dissolve the
large granules of sugar
As alert as I was to the ever familiar sound from across the street I realized that it was now mixed with
another coming from our very own kitchen Baba was making tea
I was visiting Baba This trip was different than the ones before as it was the first with my older daughter
who was ten months old Our plan was to stay for a couple of months and celebrate her first birthday in
India
While my parents were ahead of their times in their thinking my father was not someone who had ever
stepped into the kitchen to cookhellipa man of very simple tastes and needs the kitchen was not a place that
called him Food was not a big part of his life and he urged my mother to spend less time in the kitchen
and more on cultivating her other interests My mother however even with her job as a busy school
teacher absolutely loved to cook She devoted a lot of her spare time to her kitchen making
quintessential Bengali dishes be it the simple dal macher jhol or esoteric ones such as mulor jali bhaja
and kachuri Like most Indian households Marsquos kitchen was the hub of our home the center of life
With my motherrsquos sudden passing and my sister and myself out of the home Didi and I wondered how
Baba managed when our household help was absent Baba learnt to make his cup of tea at the crack of
dawn listening to BBC World News But that was it His meals if our household help arrived would be
simplehelliprice lentils some vegetable and macher jhol for the afternoon and roti and vegetable at night If
it was one of those days when there was no help he would simply eat whatever there was in the
refrigerator sometimes even adding water to the leftover dal or macher jhol
With every trip back home I saw Marsquos kitchen slowly losing its relevance to our homehellipthe fancy nuts
and raisins the aromatic spices - cardamom cinnamon cloves and bay leaves the long grain fancy rice
gradually disappeared the mixers and grinders were pushed to the corner of the long counter top or inside
the cupboards the fine china and serving ware collected dust the refrigerator was changed out for the
smallest size and the cupboards were no longer full of delectable snacks biscuits sauces homemade
jams jellies and squashes Instead the kitchen only had the staples and the basics Nothing fancyhellipthere
was no need as Ma was gone
Our plan for my daughterrsquos first birthday party was to have the food catered which included the mishti or
the sweets without which no Bengali meal let alone a special occasion meal would be complete But as
tradition goes in our family no birthday can be celebrated without payesh the thick creamy rice pudding
with raisins nuts bay leaves and cardamom considered auspicious by the Bengalis The birthday girl had
to have payesh even if only a spoon We assumed I would make the payesh which while it would not be
like the one Ma would make would serve the purpose That is when Baba completely surprised us by
saying that no one but he would make the

payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren
payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends
My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

payesh What How can that be ldquoItrsquos fine Baba
not a problem I will be fine not hard labor at all in fact would love tordquo was my response But Baba
insisted There was no way we could dissuade him from making payesh for his natnirsquos first birthday
But how could he someone who has never cooked in his life We gently proposed that he make the
payesh in a very small amount But Baba had made up his mind that he would make the payesh for
everyone coming to our home on the birthday
On the day of celebration Baba went to the market with more energy than ever He brings home the
fragrant rice used to make payesh packets of cardamom cloves and bay leaves extra milk and sugar Out
came the big vessel years after Ma had used it to make payesh for the last time
That day I did not dare step into the kitchen As we went about our day we could see Baba in front of the
stove going about his business in a seemingly methodical manner We all wanted to help and hoped that
everything would turn out ok so that Baba would not be upset with himself We could feel there was a
sense of purpose about him something that had been missing for the past few years
It was evening and my aunts and cousins had arrived Baba brought out the payesh from the refrigerator
in a pretty bowl and set it on our dining table We looked and sure it did look like payesh But what
about taste Does it have the right amount of sugar right consistency right creaminess and correct ratio
of rice and milk We thought even if not perfect for my daughter it would still be payesh made for her
by dadubhai as grandfather is lovingly called by many in Bengal The first taster of the payesh would
have to be the birthday girl Baba so proudly put a spoonful of payesh in a little bowl took a little on
a spoon and fed my daughter And then he couldnrsquot stop as my daughter kept wanting for more Of
course itrsquos because babies love sweets
And then we had a taste of it and it took our breadth away It was one of the most delicious payesh that
we had tasted in a while It reminded us of Ma it reminded us of the happy celebrations that we have had
in our home it reminded us of the years gone by We were stupefiedrdquowhen did you learn to make such
payeshrdquo was our nagging question Such good payesh is considered to be the purview of chefs like my
Ma and my mashis ldquoWhy would it be difficultrdquo Baba said ldquoI am an engineer so all I did was follow a
method and correct proportionrdquo Well we knew that there was more for it had a disproportionate amount
of the most important ingredient love
Written on the occasion of my older daughter leaving for college to memorialize the bond between
grandparents and grandchildren

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Kali
Anannya Chowdhury
Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment Kali is the Goddess of Time Change
and Power She is the Goddess of love and power You have to read the history or the story
however in this picture She was trying to fight the demons and against evil as per the ancient
Indian mythology
Hand crafted work using scissors non-working pens and paint used for protection against rust
on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

on sheet of aluminum foil An embossed pattern is raised against the background
I enjoyed working on Goddess Kali because she is challenging to do detailed work I am a big
fan of doing most intricate and intense detailed work because I like to be able to demonstrate
perfection

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

THE NORMAL ONE Ritika Bhattacharya

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

THE NORMAL ONE Ritika Bhattacharya

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Indian Fisher Woman
Anannya Chowdhury
I have implemented the Madhubani technique Is an interpretation of a style of painting with a
lot of detailing and design broadly falls under an ancient 2500 year old technique called
Madhubani It is a style of Indian painting practiced in India Madhubani which by one
account means Forest of Honey (Madhu = honey Bani = forest or woods
No pens markers used acrylics amp brushes I use my conservative old traditional free hand to do
all detailed oriented work with perfection You can see all vibrant colors and detail work on each
little area that is done with so much perfection and simple acrylic paint and brush

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

THE NORMAL ONE Ritika Bhattacharya

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

The Big Bossrsquo Stolen Mustache Translation of lsquoGonf Churirsquo by Sukumar Ray
Arushi Mukherjee
The Head Officersquos Big Boss was always calm and cool
Who knew he could be such a madman and a fool One quiet day in the office he dozed off in a chair
When at once he startled awake giving everyone a scare He flailed his arms his face turned red
As his eyes popped Right out of his head He hollered aloud and gave an urgent call
ldquoHelp me help me Irsquom going to fallrdquo The employees dropped their work and ran into town
Searching for a doctor but none were to be found As everyone else bustled about A cautious colleague shouted out
ldquoBe careful with him What if he bites And through the crowd went whispers of fright
Then suddenly the big boss screamed ldquoMy mustache Itrsquos gone Who is the thiefrdquo
A mustache stolen How could this be But NO it was there they all could see
Above his lip it was still intact They held up a mirror and watched him react
Now his face was turning red his temper began to boil
Hotter than an eggplant frying in a vat of oil ldquoI donrsquot care what you have to say I know how you all are like
This mustache isnrsquot mine itrsquos an unkempt filthy sight The kind of mustache the milk man has shabby dull and worn If you tell me this is my mustache Irsquoll kill yourdquo he said with scorn
The boss angrily fined the workers As all of them worriedly murmured
He opened his notebook and being quite plain Wrote ldquoThese monkeys have cow dung in place of their brainrdquo
He then continued to write in his file ldquoIf you give them an inch then theyrsquoll take a mile Irsquoll pull on their mustaches and dance all around
Irsquoll shave their heads bald and march them to town Think that you own the mustache on your face
I can assure you sir that is not the case You donrsquot own your mustache donrsquot think that you do
You donrsquot own your mustache your mustache owns you

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

City of Joy
Srinjoyi Lahiri
Kolkata or ldquoCalcuttardquo is not an easy city to understand You need to stay there for a while or visit several times to figure out the Bengali people their incredible cuisine the unique culture the numerous festivals and the rush hour traffic jams This is a city that likes to take it easy where intelligence is valued greatly where the heart rules the head where the old and the new merge and where reality is in your face Some people dislike it all so much that they leave never to return Others love it so much that they can never imagine leaving Kolkata is not just a city Itrsquos a way of life Kolkata is not just a destination Itrsquos a journey But the only way to understand Kolkata is to understand first and foremost that the city is entirely completely and nothing but Bengali No Bengali minds you saying that Rather they are very proud of the fact The vibrant streets the cheerful chaos the fiery response to injustice are all an integral part of Kolkata And who can ever forget or replicate the magic of Durga Puja - the emotion culture and joy of celebration For any true Bengali the calendar revolves around this special festival Where will you find adults crying from the emotional power of Mother Durga Where will you find unusual exotic Puja pandals that take your breath away Where else will you find a fish on your plate every day Where else will you find a meal incomplete without a Sondesh or Rosogolla Where in the world will you find a city with more soul than Kolkata

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Thank You
An event of this magnitude would not have been possible without the selfless sacrifice and commitment of our extended team of committee members and countless volunteers While we mean to acknowledge the help of everyone involved we apologize in advance for any inadvertent omissions We salute all the wonderful community members who voluntarily roll up their sleeves and help us out during the festivities and support us in so many ways that are not even noticed This is our humble effort to recognize some of the many valuable contributions at the time of going to print Our heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors and donors whose generous support goes a long way to defray the costs of presenting events of this scale with the highest quality programs at modest admission rates We also take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of our family members who have endured with us as we put aside our personal and professional priorities to bring you Durgotsav 2015 The BA-DFW Committee

Thank You
An event of this magnitude would not have been possible without the selfless sacrifice and commitment of our extended team of committee members and countless volunteers While we mean to acknowledge the help of everyone involved we apologize in advance for any inadvertent omissions We salute all the wonderful community members who voluntarily roll up their sleeves and help us out during the festivities and support us in so many ways that are not even noticed This is our humble effort to recognize some of the many valuable contributions at the time of going to print Our heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors and donors whose generous support goes a long way to defray the costs of presenting events of this scale with the highest quality programs at modest admission rates We also take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of our family members who have endured with us as we put aside our personal and professional priorities to bring you Durgotsav 2015 The BA-DFW Committee

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends
My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

My Cub Scouts Experience
Soham Lahiri
I have been a Bobcat and Bear in Cub Scouts earlier This year I am a Webelos Cub
Scouts activities are a lot of fun
When I was a Bear one of my favorite moments was looking for stars through the
telescope We had gone to a park in Frisco in the evening I saw many starts and galaxies
with my Boy Scout friends
Once we had gone camping with my friends We went to a campground and climbed
small trees We also played a marble game and kick ball There were other fun activities
like BB gun shooting and archery
Last year we had taken part in a racing event called Pinewood Derby We had to design
and make a car from a wooden block Then my Cub Scout friends and me raced the cars
on the event day I was very happy to win the second prize and got a trophy that day
On another day in our pack meeting we had a rocket launch event We made rockets and
launched them from a bottle They went very high up in the air and they were fun to
watch They were not real rockets but hydraulic ones
As a bear I had earned my first badge and it was a Bobcat badge There was a ceremony
where I got the badge and my face was painted like a bobcat I had kept the paint till next
day to show my friends in school
Popcorn sale was another fun activity in Cub Scouts I sold popcorn packets to my
friendrsquos parents and my parentrsquos friends At the end I collected points from my sale and
got an epic torch for my prize
On the Friday before Memorial Day last year I dressed up in Cub Scouts uniform and
went to my school for the flag ceremony All my Cub Scout friends were on stage and
there were a lot of parents who had come to watch us
I have moved up to Webelos from a Bear this year Our first activity this year was to
design and build a board game in our den meeting We made a game with dinosaurs and
we had lots of fun playing the game after building it
I like being a Cub Scout and enjoy the fun activities that I get to do with my friends

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY
ISHAAN SARKAR
Technology is very important these days in the classroom Kids are using technology to research faster then just flipping through a book Since the devices are portable they take up less space Technology allows us to access people and ideas from all over the world
Students used to have to flip through a book which took them hours now kids use technology which works even faster Instead of using a glossary kids just type what they need Students donrsquot have to go to places to get information now they have a device right in front of them
Another way technology helps us research faster is if students have a question at home they can look it up or even message the teacher The internet also loads way faster then flipping through a book Wi-Fi and data connection has grown a lot stronger over the year Students keep their place by highlighting the piece of information that they need Technology is more useful and faster
Technology is also portable When Students have a big book on their desk they have to write their paper over the book and it feels very uncomfortable Instead now students have portable devices that are small and they can write their paper on their desk and carry it with them from class to class It fits in binders very easily so it doesnrsquot fall out and you end up losing it It also fits inside desks so that your papers can fit on the desk It also lowers your carrying load This lowers the weight on your load It also has silent buttons to keep your device from going off in class Itrsquos also helpful because you can take it anywhere and work on your work
It is good to take a device to a friend house so even if yoursquore not home you can still work on it If you need help from a friend that lives very far from you your device can message them and you can get help and information Even if yoursquore doing partner work at school you can work with your partners when each of you is at different places So you even work with people over a distance It is cool because you might have your smart friend help you
I love the new rule that schools have established these days Hooray for technology Plus I lost my Ipad at Bijoya for last 3 years Irsquom glad I got my Ipad back So have a nice day with your technology because I know I will

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow

Durga Devi (The Invincible)
By Simran Misra
(granddaughter of Ramjibon amp Bandana Ghose)
Age 11 Grade 6 Dallas Texas
Born from the bodies of the Gods
She stands mighty and tall
Fighting against all odds
A weapon in each hand
Mounted on a ferocious lion
She is the strongest in all the land
A battle was fought
For nine straight days
Until Mahishasura was finally caught
Another time she fought two brothers
Two demons named Shumba and Nishumba
And Kaushiki became Parvatirsquos other
From Kaushikirsquos wiggled eyebrow
Emerged the goddess Kali
And that is why it is to her we bow
