FLOWERS DAY CELEBRATED AT
VELLALAR SCHOOL
I
n the beginning of chilly win-
ters, the Pre - Primary children
of Vellalar Matriculation Higher
Secondary School, Thindal celebrat-
ed ‘Flowers Day’ in a majestic way
.
The KG entrance and classrooms
were decorated with various fra-
grant flowers by the Blooming buds
of the school.
The KG teachers told them sto-
ries related to flowers. The children
were encouraged to speak whatever
they know about this amazing gift
of God, flowers to mankind. They
talked about different types of flow-
ers, its importance and uses.
Their smiles and laughter on
getting gifts from their teachers
added to the beauty of the day
. Kids
enjoyed the day with the dance and
speech. The aim behind this day was
to make the little ones aware of dif-
ferent types of flowers and their
colours and shapes.
Through such activities chil-
dren can develop, audio – visual
learning, concept enforcement, mo-
tor skills development and fun –
learning. The teachers and the Kids

A PERSON WHO MADE A
DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE
A
doctor who heals an illness, a parent who consoles
us in times of grief, a friend we open up to, or a
teacher who shapes us are examples of people
who have made a difference in my life. They may also be
free from illness after many years, have improved my
mental health after many sorrows. The
individual who has had a signifi-
cant impact on my life is kind,
amazing, motivating, compassion-
ate, industrious, humorous, ener-
getic, and always encourages me to
ask and answer questions. She’s a
school-age youngster, me, neither
tall nor short, white nor black. I
want to emphasize that you are the only one who has the
power to alter your life. It all depends on your perspec-
tive, but life does have its ups and downs. Make sure your
highs don’t bother you while you work on your lows.

DARK TRUTH BEHIND
RANITIDINE TABLET
R
anitidine tablets are mostly used for the treatment
of indigestion, heartburn and acid reflux, gastro-
oesophageal reflux disease. But we don’t know
what type of side effects it causes in future. Our mind-
set is to get cured under the particular circumstances
and not be aware of future complications. This RAN-
ITIDINE tablet is one of the carcinogens which causes
colorectal cancer which causes cancer of colon and
rectum also it leads to change in size or shape of your
stool, loss of appetite, anaemia, abdominal swelling.
Also, it contains a dangerous chemical NDMA N-nitros-
odimethylamine which is a hepatotoxic agent and car-
cinogen contaminant in commonly used medications
such as valsartan, losartan, irbesartan, and ranitidine,
which causes kidney cancer. So, it is important to con-
sult a healthcare professional for the most up-to-date
information on ranitidine and to discuss its use and
potential alternatives. So, taking medicines often does
not allow antibodies present in our own
body to fight against the diseases and
we may get dependent on the drugs, and
this may lead to a drug-dependent situ-
ation which is dangerous.
