You get dignity,
When you stop thinking wrong
When you do what you learn right
You can live dignified,
When you live a lifestyle that,
matches your vision.
You can get dignity
when you renounce the “ego of individuality”.
and rejoice ups and downs of life.
There is dignity,
when you have good thoughts,
in your heart and mind.

The land of diversity,
Where people live in harmony.
Different cultures and customs,
And different castes and religions
Our history today tells us all,
About great leaders and freedom fighters’ sacrifice,
Who all were very wise.
Our country was protected,
Because they protested.
The Himalayas have worn a crown,
Giving birth to some of the greatest rivers,
The atmosphere here is filled with serenity,
Creating a nature that is very pretty!

You will need:
1. Place the magazine on a sheet of mountboard and cut around it so that the cutout is slightly bigger than the magazine.
_________________________________________
2. Make two more rectangular cutouts that are narrower but about the same height as the cutout in step 1. These will form the sides of the rack.
_________________________________________
3. Make another rectangular cutout for the base using the measurements from the previous two cutouts as shown.
_______________________________________________
4. Stick the cutouts from Step 2 along the sides of the cutout from Step 1 as shown. Then stick the base as well.

5. Cut two thin strips from the mountboard and stick to the front of the rack. Paint the rack.

Now you can put in your favourite Champak magazine in your very own magazine rack!
Paper boats are fun. But a rubber-band powered paddle boat is more exciting! Just give the paddle a little twist and watch it zoom across the water. And its super easy to make, too. Try it out!
For this, you need:
Thermocol sheet
Rubber Band
Art/ Ice cream Stick
Acrylic Paint
Paint Brush
Kite Paper
Stick
Cutter
Marker
Glue
Let’s make a tricolour kite!
You will need: Kite papers (orange, white and green), thread, broomsticks, scale, glue, scissors and pencil.
1. Fold the white kite paper in half. Draw a triangle on it as shown. Cut it and open it out.
2. Divide the cutout into three equal parts as shown.
3. Cut a triangle from the orange kite paper of the same size as the one on the white paper and stick over it.
4. Similarly, cut a triangle from the green kite paper and stick it over the triangle at the bottom.
5. Your kite will now look like the Indian flag, but without the chakra in the center.
6. Turn your kite over and glue a broomstick across the center as shown. Cut the broomstick to fit the length of the kite.
7. Slightly bend the second broomstick as shown.
8. Glue it horizontally across the kite as shown.
9. Make thin strips from orange, white and green kite papers.
10. Bunch the strips together and glue them to both sides of the kite.
11. Glue a thread to the bottom tip of the kite.
12. Cut out bow-shaped bits from orange, white and green kite papers.
13. Glue them along the thread in the order of the tricolour.
14. To fly the kite, tie one end of a spool of thread to the joints of the kite’s frame.
Your kite is now ready to fly!
