Edi’s very messy! Desk
Yeah! That beauty in background is my desk. My file storage faculty to be precise! You can see little bit details of files,
paper books, DVDs, Deo’s and yeah! My favorite T-Shirt buried under all this. But unfortunately my mom made it a mess
afterwards and now I can’t find my T-Shirt! And my younger sis seems to be very interested in what I;ve kept in my TOP
SECRET Boxes!
Me and Jigyasa (Editor) had a competition about who has got a more workable desk, the winner was supposed to write
in this section. So I won because her desk is occupied by her PC and stuff so you really can’t work on it where else mine
is spacey!
So here we are with Spring Special Edition which really is special coz we never had our readers participating so much in
the magazine and yeah! Our 2nd Brand Ambassador Elections were super-hit! Now that is what we call ‘teen spirit’.
We are also going to execute our old plans which we thought we’d ‘someday’... but teen spirits are so up that ‘some day’
is so damn near.
Now when people ask me, ‘Sup?’ I answer, ‘Teen Spirit!’

What’d you suggest teens to keep up
their health?
One of the main problems is lack of activity and laziness. Whereas the truth is that
movement is movement and the more
you do, the healthier you’ll be. Another
important suggestion would be eat well
as Eating a healthy diet is another part of
the healthy lifestyle. Not only can a clean
diet help with weight management, it
can also improve your health and quality

It’s a democratic country and everyone is entitled to their views and so am

nothing is right and wrong in it. My suggestion would be that anyone who is
thinking to live in with someone special
should take this decision slowly, seriously
and with great care.

Gears & Gadgets by Vikas Paul
YAMAHA XJ6 DIVERSION Yamaha (Japanese conglomerate) as everybody knows it for
it’s racing cars but along with racing cars Yamaha also produces street bikes for commercial sales. One of them is XJ diversion
as compared to KTM 900 Adventure it gives looks as of luxurious
and status symbol.
One of its stunning features is ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM and
also includes ABS. However design of tank looks odd but stylish
lower seat (lower to 30.9 inches) consolidates.
KAWASAKI ZX-6R
Kawasaki collaboration with Bajaj (in India) to produce KB 100, KB
RTZ, KB 125, 4s,
ZX-6R first introduced in 1995 & since then generally updated with
new dashing features yearly. Kawasaki’s latest ZX-6R series is just
awesome! It’s most stunning feature is it’s pick up i.e. 0-60 mph in 3.6
seconds!
Moreover fuel tank capacity is 17 litres. And is modestly prized at
US$9799 and US$9999(monster edition) well! It is much cheaper as
compared to KTM adventure but preferences matters most. Brakes
are much more improved that provides better control.

KTM 990 ADVENTURE
KTM (first to introduce both front & rear disc) and Bajaj Auto International holdings recently increased its stake from 21% to 31.2% in Austrian major.
Are you getting bored by so called smooth bikes? Want some action & real time
adventure? Read This...
I will take you to adventure ride with KTM 990 Adventure, though it is heavily
priced at $13998 & also not designated as luxurious or status symbol but if you
are crazy about rally racing then you will definitely fall in love with it.
With this very 900 adventure KTM won many rallies. If
you are on a highway driving 900 and mistakably supposed yourself on a racing track and about to touch
top speed, chances of collision are less. So it is provided
with Brembo 2channel ABS and fuel capacity is 22 litres.
It is much heavier as compared to Kawasaki ZX-6R i.e.
200kg. KTM designers design it for races that is why it looks is
sporty but not attractive.
To add to specification list, engine is V type, twin cylinder,
four stroke in which fuel mixture is injected electronically
along with pressure lubrication.
Its twin paired silencers with 3-way catalysers gives it a
tremendous look.
To sum up its differential design, sharp brand position
&higher performance will definitely force you to shell out
$13998.

Elections: IT DOES MATTER
Elections: IT DOES MATTER by Jigyasa Labroo
Elections are gust round the corner in
India and the current hot topic for every
Indian, but taking them in a more global
context, elections have a huge relevance
in the lives of youth, and the section
we’re most concerned about, the teens.
Well, if it’s some people who decide how
YOU will live for the next couple of years,
IT DOES MATTER! But the very first correction I’d like to make in this statement is
– nobody but YOU can decide how you
live. The bold “YOU” asserts how important the person ‘you’ is to the world and
what I am writing next is about how the
“You” can bring a change.
country’s government. Shun the, “It’s not
my business” or “The politics is too dirty
for me” attitude. This can be your first
step towards active citizenship and who
knows a teen reading this article today
becomes Obama of tomorrow.
Also take interest in your school/collage
cabinet/council. Discuss your problems
with respective authorities instead of
crying about it. It is YOUR school/collage
and it is YOU who is being affected so it
is YOU who has got to take the step.
Now, to those teenagers having the
privilege to cast a vote: The very first thing that I personally want to do when I turn adult is to vote! As official deciders of our government, you people have a
great responsibility. Trust yourself that your vote can
make a difference and your thought is as powerful
as your vote! Young voters state honesty, sincerity
and leadership as the most important criteria rather
than the race, religion, gender or party in an individual. This is the right attitude to go with. Believe me,
voting tops the list of the coolest things to do get out
and go vote. Change, we can bring!
The onus of change today lies on the
youth, though indirectly; teenagers can
do a lot for better government and consequently better living. First, to those who
cannot vote! You must make a point
to at least know about the process of
elections. When you can spend hours
on social networking sites, you sure can
give some tome to know the elections on
internet. It is sad to know that 75% of the
teenagers in India and a lot more around
the world have never seen an election
manifesto! Discuss politics with your parents and peers and take interest in your

How you intend to boost the teen spirit
we believe in:
“Well I think that teens should perform as
much confidence boosting activities as
they could……Parents must encourage

I personally think to boost the teen spirit
one needs to know and understand
what ‘teenage’ is and what it essentially
demands or stand for!!! Teenagers must
not hesitate to show their talent. Confidence is the name of the game. They
must start taking initiative with confidence & reach the apogee with perfection. CHEERS for teens!!!

There is a belief that a vampire cannot enter anyone’s house without invitation. And this you guy has let the wrong one in. A serious of
murders and blood flows unfold at her arrival.
Review: Vampire movies are famous for blood suckers, but this one is a bit different. After Twilight people loved Vampires (at least girls),

haven’t got many car chases. As if the moviemakers forgot what we loved. Though there are some screeches when a fuel cargo is to be
hijacked. Lovers should watch this, but if you have little money in pocket, wait till you can rent the DVD.

Music Review (Top Hits) by Chaitali Sinha
The Climb – Miley Cyrus
Charts.
From a 12 year old pop singer, Miley Cyrus
has come a long way. She rocks out your
soul with this soulful ballad. From songs
written just for little kids to bop their feet
to, like, “I Got Nerve” and “Best of Both
Worlds”, she is making the critics and honchos sit up and take her seriously.
The words ``... every move I make feels
lost with no direction, my faith is shaking’’ perhaps sums up the confusions
that lie in front of every adolescent as
they rise from a childhood treading into
the real world. Even if the lyrics do get
clichéd at points, Cyrus pulls it off confidently and suavely and the kids love her
for it.
It is an inspiring song, with a simplistic yet
powerful range. The song lyrics are maturing (slowly if I may add), and have
earned her a spot in the Country Music
What are you doing?
I still would not rate her next to Miranda
Lambert or Taylor Swift, but she’s grow-
ing and making a
steady transition
from a kid to a
woman.
I would recommend this song
to all my tweenybopper readers
and some of us
willing to experiment.

My Life Would Suck Without You –
Kelly Clarkson
American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson hits
no denying that it’s a fantastic song.
From her first album, where she was projected as a
crooner, she has turned her image into one more
rock oriented.
One would infer a slightly cynical or angsty song
from the title but it’s like the singer is being hit by a
realization of her own, as she understands how incomplete she feels without your other half.
In the end, I’ll just finish with a standing ovation. Go
listen!

Poker Face – Lady Gaga
What can you expect from an artist
named Lady Gaga?
A lot, actually.
An artist from a humble background,
she has taken the world by storm. Don’t
go expecting a soulful ballad or a night
mellowed by her voice, but it’s good
enough to bring life to a party or a
dank after-office hours get together.
Initially only working on electronic
dance music, she has created a niche
by taking inspiration from David Bowieesque glam songs.
Poker Face has already touched No. 1
What are you doing?
another home run, as she brings a song
which makes you want to jump on your

voices.
It’s another one in a series of rock-tinged

Take me along,
To a place unknown,
beyond the dusk and dawn,
In a place where there’s you and me

Somewhere i’ll never feel lonely,

Whilst the beauties of nature before us
unfold...
Listen to it, and you’ll be surprised.
Slumdog Millionaire (Moive

In a place which is so far away,
And where all is happy and gay,
In a place which is beyond this world,

Slumdog has shaken the world from it’s
stupor of terrorism and recession with it’s
feel-good flavor created with panache.
It took home eight Oscars, with two for it’s

Yes, Rahman weaves his magic once

the classic it is being made out to be?
Take me along,
Just take me along,
On that road to that place....
I deceive myself whenever I say,
there exists a place that is my way....
Rahman has produced way more sound
tracks which are more heart tugging and
forcing misanthropes to cry than this one.
But take me along,
Oh !please take me along.....
I don’t care....
For if you can’t take me there,
Promise this to me today,
that forever with me you will stay....
Coming back to Slumdog solely, it is a
good soundtrack with an interesting
amount of electronica inserted but it’s just
not the best in Rahman’s works.

Peter stresses on the fact that we must act accordingly with our moral theories as in present it is
inconsistent with our true behavior.
This book convinces you that eradicating global
poverty is not very tough and we all must act now
for that. Allotting a part of our income for such a
cause is something which is very important to exterminate the word ‘poverty’ from our lives.

Why Socrates DiedAthens on Trial by

By Tanya Oziel (MBA)
This story is cleverly told by creating the
picture of Athens in the fifth century.
The execution of Socrates in Athens in
399BC has generated almost as much
post-mortem fury as the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.
During the Socrates’ trial the court was
packed, and after being found
guilty by his peers, Socrates died by
drinking a cup of the poison hemlock, a defining moment in ancient
civilization. Yet time has transmuted
the facts into a fable. This is about the
of aristocracy over democracy.
It is said that the Death of

The trends you learn as a teenager regarding money
and savings follow you the rest of your life. Do you
have a bank account? If you don’t you should sign
up for one. Learning to manage your money is very
important and a bank account helps. Bank accounts are usually free to open in most banks
around the world. Save at least 20% (1/5) of
whatever money you receive. For example,
when I was a teen I would get birthday money
every year or an allowance from my parents. I
would save some of that money for
future goals and upcoming needs I
may have had.
Always create a budget for
yourself and leave room for an
emergancy. Don’t always look
to your parents for your money
needs. It is good to get a job. For
example, babysitting is a popular
way to earn money or tutoring
younger children.

loathe them. No matter what your take
is, big thick plastic bangles are all over
the Spring 2009 runways. So, obviously
the designers and stylists are on to something that the rest of us aren’t...yet. We
personally love this look and
think that somehow, even
those claiming to loathe
these types of bracelets
will come around. It’s all
a matter of how it’s done!
The best way to rock this trend is to stack up
several of them on one arm, in all different colors and materials.
Cocktail Rings
Want to live in the moment? Then slip some
bold baubles on your fingers, honey, because
cocktail rings are SO now. They bring the

or 10, it doesn’t matter! Virtually every star has some

Thick Patent Belts
Thick red belts, worn high up on
the waist, are all the rage this Fall
and they are EVERYWHERE
Cotton Leggings
All of young Hollywood loves them
and it’s easy to see why. Leggings
are super-comfy and versatile. Juicy
Couture has crafted the perfect pair
that can be worn underneath anything from a baggy hooded sweatershirt, to your sophisticated wrap dress.
