GREEN IS THE NEW GOLD: Kameswarii Dewi Nookala (8A)

For centuries, gold has symbolized wealth, power, and success. But in today’s world, the real treasure is not found in mines—it is found in the green that surrounds us, our forests, our rivers, our clean air, and our fertile soil. Truly, green is the new gold.

Unfortunately, this treasure is being wasted. Deforestation, rising pollution, and climate change are stripping the Earth of its riches. The air we breathe is becoming toxic, rivers are having less water and more plastic, and the fertile land is turning barren. If this continues, no amount of money will be able to provide us with the necessities of our daily life.

The good news is that the solution lies in our hands. Simple steps like planting more trees, using sufficient water and taking steps to reduce pollution can lead to a better future for us and a better life for the future generations. Gold is an earthly pleasure, it gives us satisfaction and happiness for a brief period of time but green—the trees, the shrubs and the forests give us the amount of happiness which no amount of gold or luxury can ever give. Protecting nature is not just an environmental duty—it is an investment in our survival.

Let us remember, in the future, gold will have no worth, luxuries will have no worth, only the trees, the rivers and the nature will have worth and it is our duty to protect it. So, let us make a promise, not only to Mother Earth but to ourselves and our future generations that we will make a future where green will not be a scarcity but a necessity that will be there in abundance.

A HIDDEN GENIUS

Once upon time there lived a girl named Leocadia Zephyr and she is from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Iceland and Cinque Terre, Italy. She loved reading and writing books. One day, because of a fire accident at her school she had to move to another school named Ørestad Gymnasium (Copenhagen, Denmark). When she came there she was disliked by all others because of her appearance as a geek girl. She used to sleep in other classes and watch something in her phone in computer, arts, dance, gymnasium and music and she was not good at either of them so she was known as the nerd and was bullied for it. The only class she really enjoyed was the computers class as she could watch my phone without anybody disturbing her as the computer sir just couldn't see her doing something under the desk while teaching the class. She used to be my partner in that class and believe me I like the others thought she was a bad girl. Slowly as we got to know each other we became best friends and I got to know something that awestruck me. One day, in computer class we got to know that someone had stolen all the data of the school and was threatening to leak it. Everyone were allowed to take back the data including Leocadia. She quickly got up and began typing in fast codes and completed or recovered the whole data in less than ten seconds. It seemed it was a person from another class who had been doing this because he wanted to show off and Leocadia was trying to stop him for ages but refused to listen and got expelled. She also turned out to be excellent in other activities too. Leocadia was awarded the bravery award from the chief minister and was allowed to skip class and go help the nation. Leocadia got braveness and we all got a valuable lesson.

Moral: Never underestimate anyone around you. Everyone has the power to surprise anyone at any point of time.

ECHOES OF KINDNESS

Aarav was a quiet boy. He didn’t really hang out with anyone much. One morning, he was rushing down the school corridor with his books stacked in his arms when—oops—they slipped and fell everywhere. Meena, who was passing by, quickly ran over. “Here… uh, let me help,” she said, picking up his heavy math book. Aarav looked kind of embarrassed and muttered, “Oh… thanks.” He didn’t usually get help like that, and for some reason it made him feel a little… noticed.

A few days later, Meena was carrying a huge pile of notebooks and almost dropped them all. Out of nowhere, Aarav stepped forward. “I’ll take a few,” he said, grabbing some of the books from her hands. She laughed a little. “Finally returning the favor, huh?” he just shrugged, smiling a bit. It felt nice. Weirdly nice.

After that, they started noticing small things around them—people holding doors, picking up something someone dropped, sharing little smiles in the hall. Nothing huge, but it made the day feel lighter somehow. Aarav didn’t make a big deal out of it, Meena didn’t either. They just kept helping others whenever possible. And that seemed just enough.

MORAL: Helping others, even in little ways, can build connections and make life better for everyone.

LOST OR WON?

There were two villages. Rampur and Sompur . There were two lazy workers Ram and Bheem, they were from Rampur. They often get fired for whatever job they do because they don't work. The village shows pity on them and gives them Rs5000/- every month each. Once a traveler from sompur was tired and was resting under a shady tree. Ram and Bheem wanted to prank the traveler. So, they went to him and bet. They both said” Traveler, we want to challenge you.” the traveler agreed. They said” They three should share their unusual experiences in front of a crowd and if anyone does not believe what they said, they win!” They began the challenge.

Ram started. He said” When I was a baby, I transformed into a lion to get food for my family. "Everyone acted like they believed. Bheem said "When I was hungry, I jumped onto a cupboard to eat the snacks my mother hid. I ate everything. My tummy was full, so I couldn’t get down. I spotted a ladder, I got it and came down. If the ladder wasn’t there, I would’ve died!” Everyone acted as if they believed it. Now it was the traveler’s turn. He said “When i was plucking flowers in my garden, two boys came out. Their names were Ram and Bheem. They were lazy. They should work for me because they came from my garden. I am searching for them and i found them. ” The stupids were cornered, if everyone believed they should work for him but if they did not, they lost. The traveler gave them a last chance and left them.

THE SAMURAI

A long time ago, there lived an old wise samurai. He knew almost all kinds of arts except one. It was called Genesis. It was the oldest art, and no one knew about it very much. It was the power to move any object. You would think it was very easy for a samurai to do it. But with the rise of new arts, everyone forgot about it. The samurai has a story: So, when he was young, He wanted to travel around the whole world, but one day his life was in danger. A mime (fictional, an octopus-like creature) was trying attack him and suddenly, a samurai came and saved him. From that day on, he also wanted to become a samurai to protect himself and others. He trained with the samurai who had protected him and learned every skill except that one.

He worked very hard and became one of the strongest and wisest samurai in the world. He even pulled the Excalibur (the most powerful sword known to man) from the old and hard rock. He got great fame but still didn’t know how to do genesis. He tried every single trick his master told but failed until...... He used to always tell his disciples this story. Once a young-looking man came to his cottage and said “O, wise samurai, I want to learn these skills.” The samurai taught him everything he knew. After a few years, He knew everything, and the disciple asked him about genesis. The master told him that no one had ever figured that out. The disciple mysteriously left the very next day. The master thought that it was a co-incidence, but the disciple returned literally after 3 whole years.

He used the genesis after he came back to the cottage. The master was shocked, Then the young man revealed that he was once the greatest samurai alive in his past life. He taught him the genesis as his fees and said that God gave him one last chance to revive the Genesis style back to humans!

IF I HAD A MAGIC LAMP I WOULD WISH FOR

It was a sunny day when I was roaming in the garden, suddenly, under the apple blossom tree I found something glittering, I went there as it seemed to look like a lamp. The lamp was small but heavy and was old. "Wow! I found a lamp" jumped in excitement. I wondered if it's a magical lamp.

I started thinking about the wish I could ask the lamp." A PirateT!" I thought that I must be a pirate and win wars to reach the treasure island such as gunfights, swordfights & narrow escapes, At the end I should reach the treasure and return to the beginning and show my friends that found treasure.

"Or maybe an Astronaut!! I should go to space and discover something new that the world's top scientists have not yet discovered.”

"Or maybe to be a Superhero!! who could save the world". The list went on...I was into the world of wishes and I was in the space and suddenly became a superhero and started flying into the sky.

A mosquito bit me I shouted "Ouch!!" then I realised that I was daydreaming. Before I could decide what to wish for, I accidentally rubbed the lamp. To my surprise nothing came out. This time I rubbed again hoping to see the blue giant genie come out, but nothing happened. I was sad and disappointed, but I enjoyed my dream.

IN 25 YEARS

In this article we assume all the major changes that will occur in the next 25 years.

Social media-This is gonna be a major change, social media is already very popular and is going to be popular throughout the next century or so. Social media platforms like youtube, facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat etc. Take over most of our time on a common man’s smart phone. One of the most popular social media star MrBeast (440Million+ followers ) is expected to be the first person in history to get 500M followers. Maybe, who knows 1bil- lion followers might be common in the future!

AI - AI (like Alexa), we think of it as just our regular helper like helping us re- member dates (by keeping alarms), solving simple problems when we really need it or just saying facts when we are a little bit curious. Some people are even predicting that AI can tell about our personality, on and off switches when we are lazy in the near future. Some of these activities are already being worked on and being implemented! AI might even take over jobs that require simple techniques to modern type complex coding. Even it is said to replace delivery boys with the help of drones. This method might be more “efficient and easy” according to some people.

But the way I see it is that we should not take AI for granted and minimize or limit the use of this. It might take over jobs so much that people are replaced and families just can’t earn money. Even people who are not educated can become delivery boys and at least as a part time job they can earn some money but with the use of AI this is completely minimized. Until some answer is seen to these problems, I do not see the benefit of using AI completely.

Technology- It is said that in the future Humans will completely forget about interacting wth other people because of all this technology. Technology will also be the way the loss of life span of humans

Fitness- With AI, social media and different kinds of futuristic tech we will be very lazy and forget to keep ourselves fit. This is gonna be a major problem as fitness is equally important to live. People will also get used to fast food and eventually forget about healthy or regional food. Fast food is also one of the reasons to get very lazy. Ready to eat meals are also becoming the go-to foods in society. We should just “Heat” them to make ourselves a com- plete meal! These foods also contain chemicals and preservatives to hold it for long time.. We should always keep our body fit and eat healthy food for a happy life.

I think that we should not take anything for granted and always keep our screen time minimized.We shouldn’t forget old lifestyles but also keep devel- oping and learning new things. This is a brief explanation of the changes that will occur during these 25 years.

DARCY – THE KIND-HEARTED BOY

Once upon a time, there lived a lively boy named Darcy. He was a well- mannered boy; everyone adored him. His life was perfect: caring parents, a loving sister, true friends, good grades in school, and supportive teachers. Everyone would call him “a bag full of luck”!

One day, a new boy named William joined his school. Darcy saw the new boy standing alone in the hallway. He decided to talk to him. Darcy asked William in a friendly tone, “Hi! Are you new here?”
William replied, “Yes.”
Darcy said, “Welcome! Why are you standing alone?”
William replied coldly, “Because I don’t have any friends. Is this a problem for you?”
Darcy said, “No, I just wanted to know. So, if you don’t have any friends, maybe we can be friends.”
“Sorry, but find someone else to disturb. How come the kids here are so irritating? Ugh!” Saying this, William left.

Darcy felt sad after such an answer, but because of his kind nature, he thought that the new kid might be sad because he had left his old school and might be missing his old friends. So Darcy decided to make him feel comfortable. During lunch, Darcy sat next to William, pretending he had no place to sit.

After one hour, Darcy managed to become a friend of William. William noticed how everyone loved Darcy but not him because of his cold-hearted nature. William had an evil plan. He would go to each of Darcy’s friends and say something bad about him.

After a few days, Darcy noticed that no one was talking to him. He made friends with another person and started looking into the depth of what was going on. He finally found out that this was all William’s fault.

Darcy exposed this in front of everyone. William understood his mistake and said sorry to Darcy. Then all of Darcy’s friends became William’s friends. Then they all lived happily ever after.

POWER RANGERS: RISE OF THE SHADOW STORM

In the city of Silverdale, peace reigned for years under the protection of the Power Rangers. But one stormy night, a mysterious black cloud descended from the mountains. From its darkness emerged a villain known as Lord Umbra, a sorcerer who fed on fear and shadows. His goal was to blanket the world in eternal darkness and drain the planet’s energy for his own power.

At the Silverdale Science Academy, five students were preparing for the annual robotics competition. Liam, the team leader, was brilliant but impa- tient. Maya, the tech genius, could build anything. Ethan, the athlete, loved action. Sofia, the strategist, always thought three steps ahead. And Ryan, the calm artist, found beauty even in chaos.

When a tremor shook the ground, they rushed outside and saw lightning crack through the black clouds. A beam of light appeared before them, re- vealing Zyra, the Guardian of Light. “You five have been chosen,” she said. “Only the Power Rangers can stop Lord Umbra.”

She handed them morphers shaped like glowing crystals. “When darkness rises, let your light shine.”

The teens shouted,
“It’s Morphin Time!”
Liam became the Red Ranger, fierce and brave.
Maya, the Blue Ranger, wise and inventive.
Ethan, the Green Ranger, strong and agile.
Sofia, the Yellow Ranger, quick and tactical.
Ryan, the Pink Ranger, graceful and powerful.

Together, they faced Umbra’s Shadow Drones, creatures of living darkness. The Rangers fought valiantly, combining martial arts with advanced weap- ons forged by Maya. But Umbra was too strong; his energy blasts shattered buildings and spread more darkness.

Realizing brute force wasn’t enough, Sofia suggested uniting their powers. Liam led them into formation, their crystals glowing brighter than before. “Let’s bring the light back!” he yelled. Their combined energy formed the Solar Megazord, a giant robot of shining armor.

The battle raged across Silverdale’s skyline. Umbra summoned a colossal shadow serpent, but the Solar Megazord met it head-on. With teamwork, the Rangers struck with the Solar Beam Cannon, piercing through the darkness. Umbra screamed as his shadow form dissolved into dust.

When the storm cleared, the sun shone once again. Silverdale was safe. But Zyra warned them, “Darkness never disappears completely. It only waits for a moment of weakness.”

The Rangers nodded, understanding their true mission wasn’t just to fight monsters, but to protect hope — the brightest light of all.

Back at the Academy, life returned to normal… almost. The five friends still met every evening, training and improving their bond. They laughed, argued, and helped each other grow stronger — not just as Rangers, but as heroes.

As the sun set behind the mountains, Liam looked at his morpher. “We’re ready for whatever comes next.

Maya smiled. “Because light always wins.”

And together, the Power Rangers stood atop the hill, watching over their city protectors of light in a world that would always need them
