Apart from studies, sports, and games play a pivotal role in developing the personality of the student. Sports and games bring up children with the confidence to take on the challenges in his competitive world. Sports and games build-up a good physique and a healthy mind. It transforms a blockhead into a blazing star. Sports and games are offered to the students at the primary level itself. These children take part in sports and games every evening. By playing throughout the evening, children receive an abundant amount of vitamin D from the sunlight. Thus they are protected from dangerous bone disease, Rickets. Sports like a running race, long jump, high jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot put, javelin throw, hurdles, relay race, etc…games like kabbadi, Kho-Kho, volleyball, football, basketball, shuttlecock, cricket, etc.provide the students with entertainment as well as the exercise. Indoor games like chess and carrot and several asanas and mass drills also form the part of the curriculum.
Sports and games are meant to develop the togetherness and understanding among the sportspersons. As a matter of fact, the Olympics games we’re established as a mechanism of bringing several countries together under the roof of sports. Even between India and Pakistan, cricket is considered as a unifying factor as it contributes to a peaceful atmosphere between these two rival nations. The term “sportsman spirit” refers to the level-headedness of treating triumph and defeat equally. Instances like athletes involving in dope candles, the win at any cost attitude, and sliding the opponent players lead to the waning of sportsman spirit. The essence of sports and games is to nurture certain noble qualities that will help us to overcome culture, political, social, and racial obstacles. Thus sports and games play an important role in moulding the true citizens of the country.
“The important thing in sports is not winning but fighting well” – Pierre
India set to witness an annular solar eclipse on Sunday, wherein the Sun will appear like a “ring of fire”. This is a rare celestial event when the moon comes in between the earth and the sun, leaving the sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the moon.

People who are living along the path annular eclipse passing through Anupgarh, Suratgarh, Sirsa, Jakhal, Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, Dehradun, Tapowan and Joshimath will be able to see the annular phase. However, people living in the rest of India can witness a partial eclipse.
But, mention of solar eclipse can’t be complete without a mention of the various myths associated with it. Some of which are associated with the food that we eat during the eclipse. However, cientists have busted the myths.
@Martin_photography
Professor M N Vahia, Dean School of Mathematical Sciences, NMIMS said there is no religious text that claims that eclipses are dangerous. They are mere superstitions created by people who are scared of the eclipses. “On the contrary we can even see how eclipses have been beautifully discussed in ancient literature”, he added.
“No scriptures recommend hiding away during its occurrence. One should have more faith and understanding about the working of the universes and not be carried away by superstitions”.
We are not that important.
Unlike the common belief, the sun does not send any special radiation during the eclipse. Even though we call it a Solar Eclipse, the sun is completely unaware of its occurrence. The sun is too big to be bothered about where the moon’s shadow falls.
“We are exaggerating our own sense of importance in the universe. Eclipse is a small drama and to the Universe it is an irrelevant phenomenon,” he said rejecting the false claims about impacts of eclipses on human life.
He also mentioned that we do not get to see many eclipses in our lifetime and hence one should not miss this rare opportunity that occurs every 18 years. We should not waste it by hiding in the house and staying hungry fearing myths being imposed on us.
“Eclipses are fantastic to see but it is not worth losing your eyes”, he cautioned about seeing the eclipse with naked eyes. The safest way of looking at the eclipse is through a pinhole cardboard by getting it projected it on the screen.
Myths!
Eclipses have been a source of anxiety for people everywhere and have even scared them. It may be common to feel anxious when you first observe an eclipse tomorrow, to see the sun disappear and that too not because of clouds.
What did Eclipse mean to different cultures?
Most cultures viewed it as a period during which the sun or the moon is being attacked by an animal or a demon.
Vikings, Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese and many others imagined an animal eating the sun and excreting the sun from the other end. They used to think that there is a great animal in the sky. To threaten the animal, people even pelted stones at animals on earth, made noises, used drums to scare the demons run away.
Eskimos turned their utensils upside down to prevent bad influences from falling into their cooking. West Africans gathered in open spaces to urge the shadow to leave the sun.
American Indians thought the sun lost some of its power and hence sent burning arrows in the direction of the sun to rekindle it.
In Egypt, the King, a representative of the Sun made rounds of the city to assure people. Babylonians, Greeks, Romans considered it an omen and the month of eclipse was considered important. Armenians thought the sun was invaded by a black planet.
Japanese lit fires and displayed shiny jewels to compensate for the dulling of the sun.
A few, like Maoris of Assam considered eclipse as a good omen, means an imminent victory over their enemies, while most people around the world believed it a bad omen.
There are also evidences that at around 585 BC, an eclipse predicted earlier, occurred during a war between the Medians and the Lydians. They called off the war and declared peace.
Indian myths:
In Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra war, there are references of two eclipses Solar and Lunar that occurred within a gap of 13 days between each other – solar followed by lunar. One may find it unique but the fact is not. There are evidences that such event occurs every 800 years i.e Solar and Lunar eclipse succeeding each other within days.
Kolam tribes of India consider solar eclipse is the time when debt collectors come to collect the debts from the sun. The debt collector insists the Sun to pay off the debts since too many sins have occurred on earth. If the sun is completely covered, they feel happy, because the total solar eclipse means the debts have been completely paid off. If the eclipse covers only the top part of the sun then it is a bad omen for humans and if it covers only bottom part of the sun then it is bad sign for animals because their part of debt is not paid for.
Korku Tribe in Central India also thinks the eclipse occurs when the human sins overflow. There is a unique practice where they take a shaft used for grinding food, and place it vertically in a plate with water. As long as the eclipse is on, the rod remains vertical on its own, they say.
Later, eclipses have been used by people to collect donations to help the gods to fight the demons. There are records of huge donations made by rich people in earlier days which are actually a blessing to track the occurrence of eclipses centuries ago. These have been carved in stones, temple pillars, etc as records.
The oldest record of eclipse comes in Rig Veda. It describes how great Sage Arti saved the Sun from the Svarbhanu who tried to destroy him.
The notable change in colour of the solar disc during the entire process of the eclipse has been beautifully described in a passage in the Pancavimsa-Brahmana. It explains as Arti repelled its darkness, first the sun became a black sheep, then a silvery sheep, then a reddish one and with the arrow with which he set free its original appearance that was a white sheep.
This is nothing but the notable feature is the change in colour of the eclipse. One will find this pattern while witnessing the eclipse – first black, and since our eyes get used to the dullness it will start appearing silvery and bright, and as our eyes get set it appears reddish and eventually it regains its original colour.
Conventional Indian Myths:
The occurrence of eclipse is mentioned in Samudra Manthan – the churning of ocean by the Gods and the asuras. It occurred when the Gods and the Asuras wanted to be immortal by consuming nectar that is available under the sea, the sea had to be churned. Since neither of them had the power they came together to churn the sea.
However, when the nectar finally comes out the gods cheat, by sending a beautiful woman Mohini to distract the Asuras. Mohini distributes the Amrit among the gods, but one Asura, Rahu realises the trickery joins the gods and drinks the nectar. But before he consumed it, the sun and the moon realised and cut his head. As it was not quick enough – the head and body of the Rahu survived. Now people believe that forever revengeful Rahu tries to eat them up but since he is disembodied it comes through the other end as he gulps them down on eclipses.
It was in 499 AD Aryabhata realised that eclipse is all shadow and that there are no demons involved. He reinvented the idea that Rahu and Ketu are just points in the sky and hence they are two dark planets that cause eclipse.
Varahamihira converted Rahu and Ketu from mere myths to celestial bodies thus making it dark points in the sky. They are no more Asuras and are being worshipped as Navagrahas.
Studies show that the Earth, which used to take 400 days to complete rotation, has been slowed down by eclipses. Ancient record of eclipse helps to know about the movement of the sun, rotation of the earth and how it is slowing down over years and its impact.
Eclipses have always fascinated people from an earlier period. It may be just the shadow of the moon on earth but it is a remarkable experience to witness it.
“Eclipses are one of the spectacular events you can witness in your life time and therefore don’t miss the opportunity due to superstitions”.
Writing is my favourite pastime. I have a habit of writing daily. It is that time of the day which I like the most. This is because I get a chance during this time to write down what is going in my mind freely without any interference.
As time is progressing, people are forgetting the traditional art of writing which involves a paper and a pen and are shifting towards digital writing which is achieved by means of some kind of device. But this form of writing can never replace the conventional method.
There are many benefits that you can get from writing, such as:
● You can express the thoughts that are hurting you emotionally through writing in a better way. You might not feel comfortable to speak to someone about your stress, but writing it down could be an effective way to get rid of it. Once, you finish writing you feel free from tension.
● Writing definitely improves your writing skills. But, along with that, it also boosts your imagination and creativity skills, as you think of new ways to present your ideas on a paper. Your vocabulary improves as you learn new words while writing.
● You can relive any moment of your life at any time if you have a habit of writing about your daily routine. You make many memories in your lifetime and can live them whenever you want to simply by turning back the pages and reading about your old memories.
● Writing brings clarity to your ideas. It helps you to communicate effectively. Your thought process becomes more clear and direct due to writing. This helps you to make better life decisions.
● Writing teaches you to be more determined and confident in your life. While writing, you get involved in a completely different world wherein you are the boss of your thoughts. You just focus on your writing and are least affected by other people or what’s happening around you.
● You feel so calm and peaceful once you finish writing. This is because you get a sense of accomplishment after writing and you are able to completely drain out all your thoughts onto a paper.
● Writing is a great exercise for your brain. It is the easiest workout through which brain cells are stimulated to think creatively. It also proves very useful to enhance your memory.
● Writing can also be a good career option. If you can present your ideas in a proper format and be innovative with them then you can become a successful writer, poet or author. This can be a good job since you are getting paid and gaining recognition by doing what you like the most i.e. writing.
Thus, writing has many advantages to offer. Even if you don’t actually like to write, then too you should try to take some time from your daily routine and invest it in writing. This will gradually evolve the interest for writing in you and you will start liking it.
So whenever, you are tired of using the digital devices and thinking of doing something new without any investment. The best thing that could be done is to take a piece of paper and a pen or pencil and start writing. Just keep writing without any fear of being judged by anyone.

The athletes had come from so many countries To run for the gold and the silver and bronze Many weeks and months in training All building up to the games
The poem written by David Roth focusses on the athletes who have come from different parts of the world to compete and win either gold, silver or bronze medals. They have trained for months to participate in the events with the hopes of winning.
All round the field spectators were gathered Cheering on all the young women and men Then the final event of the day was approaching The last race about to begin
People had gathered to watch and cheer the young men and women. The final event of the day was approaching and the final race was about to begin.
The loudspeakers called out the names of the runners The one hundred metres the race to be run And nine young athletes stood there determined And poised for the sound of the gun
The names of the runners who would be taking part in the race was announced. The nine participants were determined to win the competition and poised themselves at the starting point, waiting for the sound of the gun to signal the start of the race.
The signal was given, the pistol exploded And so did the runners on hearing the sound But the youngest among them stumbled and staggered And he fell on his knees to the ground
The pistol was fired and the race began. The runners charged ahead but one of the runners who was the youngest of the lot stumbled and fell to his knees the ground.
He gave out a cry of frustration and anguish His dreams and his efforts dashed in the dirt But as sure as I’m standing here telling the story Now it’s a strange one, but here’s what occurred
The fallen athlete cried out in anguish and disappointment. His dreams had come to an end. However, something occurred which was quite strange.
The eight other athletes stopped in their tracks The ones who had trained for so long to compete One by one they turned round and came back to help him And lifted the lad to his feet
The eight other athletes who were ahead of him stopped to help him back to his feet. The other runners who had trained so hard and so long to compete for turned back to help the fallen athlete. This shows their unselfish selves and their compassion for a fellow competitor.
Then all nine runners joined hands and continued The one hundred metres reduced to a walk And the banner above that said “Special Olympics” Could not have been nearer the mark
The hundred-metre race was reduced to a walk as the nine competitors joined hands to cross the finishing line together. The banner which showed that it was special Olympics couldn’t have been more accurate for it eas indeed a special gesture by all the competitors of that race.
That’s how the race ended, with nine gold medals They came to the finish line holding hands still Thus the race ended with nine athletes holding their hands right to the finishing mark. They won nine gold medals – one for each — very deservingly.
And the banner above and nine smiling faces Said more than these words ever will Said more than these words ever will
All the nine runners won the gold medal as all of them finished the race together and they stood smiling under the banner that rightly declared it as ‘Special Olympics’.
This poem showcases the need to be compassionate towards the less fortunate and those who struggle and fall down.

Today’s solar eclipse was the largest solar eclipse of this century. When the sun, moon and earth are aligned in a straight line or almost in same configuration, with which the moon comes between the sun and earth which blocks the sun rays directly reaching to earth. This phenomenon is called solar eclipse. Solar eclipse are of three kinds based on alignment total, partial and annular. Today’s solar eclipse was an annular solar eclipse where the moon was far from the earth thet the sun was not completely covered by its relative size and only the outer rims were visible and it created a ring of fire in sky. The annual solar eclipse was started at 9:15 AM IST and was visible until 3:04 PM IST. The maximum eclipse was seen at 11:55 to 12:10. The eclipse was visible much from Asia, Africa, the Pacific and Indian Ocean, parts of Europe and Australia.
According to Nehru Planetarium Bhuj was the first city in India where the beginning of eclipse was visible at 9:58 am. The eclipse end at 4 hours later at 2:29 pm. This eclipse was not good. Looking directly to sun could cause harm to eyes so use of special goggles, welder’s shield, or pin-hole imaging technique were recommended to see the solar eclipse. It also can caused permanent damage to retina.
It was the second solar eclipse of 2020. It was seen at many places in India. It was seen mainly in Dehradun, Sirsa and Rajasthan in the form of fire ring. The net eclipse will be on 14 December but it will not be seen in India. It was also seen in Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Ethiopia and Congo. Its most effect was seen in New Delhi, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Banglore Chennai, Shimla, etc.
According to religious beliefs, first of all take a bath after the eclipse ends. Although there is a belief of bathing in the holy rivers, but in view of the corona infection, it would be better to take bath by mixing Ganga water in the bath water at home. It is believed that to avoid the ill effects of the eclipse, donations should be made after the eclipse ends. After cleaning the house, God should be worshiped by cleaning the place of worship. Immediately after the eclipse is over, the entire house should be cleaned thoroughly. Because it is believed that negative energy comes into the house during solar eclipse. So after cleaning, must show sunlight or incense smoke in the whole house.
Nature is a divine power and we humans still face challenges to fight back its cruelty and become tougher to survive during its duration and the time after it’s gone. These calamities are all natural, and these include earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, cyclones and various others which do question the survival of human and other living breeds on this planet. These have been a part of earth atmosphere and earth is confined to happening of these every year in various parts of the world. There have been times when these calamities have peaked up and had shown their devastating phase harming both men and material. We have seen earthquakes of magnitude 9.5 in early 60’s in Chile, , we have seen floods, typhoons, tsunamis and many more which have been proven to be deadliest.
We hear about these hurricanes and cyclones or typhoons each meaning the same. These differ in their names on the basis of their presence, like we often name tropical storms of high speed as hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean, while similar strong winds are named as cyclones in South pacific and Indian oceans. These are usually storms which are rotating at high speeds. We know that pressure is low near these tropical areas because the air is warm . These form when the warm and moist air over the ocean rises this attracts the nearby colder air to accumulate nearby by forming the swirls of air. The moist air continues to rise and thus cools, forming clouds. These clouds usually continue to swirl and thus go on expanding. These hurricanes can be really strong and effective and thus cause a lot of destruction to the area which is hit with it.
So we do acknowledge how these hurricanes can be really harmful for us and thus cause a lot of destruction but “What if 2 or more hurricanes coming from distant areas collide, what would be the result and how would it affect the humans”. This Phenomenon of two hurricanes coming close don’t happen often but scientists believe that it do happen. But The Fact to concentrate is that scientists also believe that these could become a common calamity as the temperature of earth’s rising, it would really be a bad experience if one came across such scenario of two hurricanes colliding. So it’s believed that if the two hurricanes are of equal size and strength, they would orbit around a common centre. This could result in sending or pushing them back in different directions or maybe it could end this due to collision. But if one is bigger in size or strength, then the smaller one would get absorbed in the bigger one, which can increase the power and strength and life span of the hurricane. This could really impact humanity by it’s destruction.
“Climatologists believe that in future times these could become common and the speed of these winds could increase significantly since the earth temperature is rising. These would lead to rise of more storms in the tropical areas. We believe that it’s all natural and humans can’t do anything about these. But since we understand the importance of “Global Warming” and “Climate Change”, which is affecting earth’s temperature to rise. We could strongly work on our carbon emissions and factors leading to these phenomena. We can shift to a better source and mode of technology and infrastructure which would not only help us fight with increasing global warming but also protect us during occurrence of these natural calamities. We humans do have a bigger part in these natural calamities which we hide to blame and thus question our nature everytime”.
Being a green panther, I feel that nature can heal all your pains and so I am always in search of a place that is the closest to nature. Living in close proximity to nature offers so many advantages.
Whenever you are feeling like doing nothing and frustrated about your life or you don’t feel like meeting anyone virtually or physically, then the first thing you should do is to get out of your home and spend some time in nature.
Just plan for a picnic with your family or friends to a park or a beach or mountain side or let the nature lover in you take a solo trip to the forest and see the changes that happen in your behaviour. You instantly feel so joyful and calm. The time that you spend at these places will restore back your interest in life.
● Nature teaches you so many things: Every element of nature is our teacher in some or the other way. We can learn from the river to keep going ahead in life and find our own way during tough times. The tree teaches us to be of giving nature without expecting much from others. The sun teaches us to be polite and stay down to earth even when you are the most powerful. We get to learn from the moon to remain peaceful during hard times in our life.
● Nature inspires us: Nature motivates us in our lives and encourages us to have a positive outlook for life. Nature heals on its own without any human help. Likewise, it teaches us to be strong in every situation and try again even if you fail once in your work. It boosts your confidence and belief.
● Nature surprises you every time: Spending time on a beach, trekking on a mountain or walking through a forest will mesmerize you with its beauty. Everything included in nature is so beautiful and attractive. The gorgeousness of nature just blows your mind and surprises your every moment with its charm.
● Nature heals you : Whenever you are unhappy about something, spending time in nature will definitely improve your mood. It will relieve your stress and sorrows. By looking at the colourful and beautiful nature, you feel so relaxed and become happy. It calms your mind and makes you feel refreshed.
● Nature revitalizes you: When you get bored and tired of your daily routine, spending some time in nature always proves to be beneficial. Nature helps to boost your imagination and creativity skills. It brings back your lost energy and enthusiasm.
● Nature never leaves you alone: Whenever you feel betrayed in life and disappointed about people’s behaviour, then the best thing to do is get in the arms of mother nature. Nature always accepts you and nurtures you. It acts as a teacher and also helps you as a friend by providing many valuable resources.
Mother nature has always helped humans since ancient times. We get many physical and mental benefits by staying close to nature. Despite the innumerable gains that we get from it, humans behave ruthlessly with it by causing its destruction. We are already facing difficulties due to the imbalances that we have created in nature. But, it is our responsibility to preserve everything related to nature and live with it happily.
