WISHES
I encapsulated my hubris.
I perished my thoughts,
I perjured myself.

An enticing body I enthroned,
I fabled my paradigm.
I radiated pessimism,
I perjured myself.

An ensnaring mind I enthroned,
I conquered ruffian.
I envisaged rapacity,
I perjured myself.

LITTLE THINGS
Someone once told me to always live for little things in life. Live for 5 am sunrises and 5 pm sunsets. Where you’ll see the colours of sky that usually don’t belong. Live for road trips and bike rides with music in your ears and wind in your hair. Live for days when you are surrounded by your favourite people who make you realize that the world is not a cold,harsh place. Live for the little things because they’ll make you realize that this is what life is about, this is what is means to be alive.

SUN SUN WHERE ARE YOU?

Sun, sun where are you?
Have you gone to Mercury to swallow it as a whole?
Sun, sun where are you?
Have you gone to Venus, to make it more hotter?
Sun, sun where are you?
Have you gone to Mars, to melt its polar ice?
Sun, sun where are you?
Have you gone to Jupiter, to look at the big red spot?
Sun, sun whre are you?
Have you gone to Saturn, to admire its beautiful rings?
Sun, sun where are you?
Have you gone to Uranus, to see how blue it is?
Sun, sun where are you?
Have you gone to Neptune to give it some warmth?
Oh! wherever you are, you naughty sun,
Do come back to earth!

Honesty Shop

Honesty shop is an excellent initiative taken by our school which depicted honesty in today’s generation . The main idea of this shop is to find out can money or our greed takeover our value of honesty? In this shop there was no shopkeeper , just a list was put up which displayed the cost price of each and every material placed on the table like pencils,pens,scale, rubber,etc. The amount did not exceed more than 20 rupees . There was a large pink box placed right next to the materials where the students were expected to put the money inside the box for the material they had purchased . This also helped the students to purchase the material they needed for some urgent project . Along with honesty , this also tested the students ability to resist or overcome their inner feelings to steal . This also taught them to be true to themselves . The idea of the honesty shop was really effective for most of the students . Such ideas inspire and change the world.

Christmas
ooh,ooh Christmas is coming,
santa’s elves and reindeers are running.
I love this time of year,
full of white snow and reindeer.
That special something in the air,
friends and family everywhere.
when everybody is singing, my heart starts jinglelinging Santa is coming to town
all the way from north pole ’cause we got Christmas soul.
Let’s clap our hands we can dance tonight,
if you got Christmas spirit let it shine bright.
Baking the delicious Christmas cookies ,
we will make some memories.
Jingle bells are ringing,
and everybody is singing
“I love Christmas.”

A TRIP TO MUSSOORIE…
I was thrilled by the idea and concept of taking school students on an ‘Adventure Camp’ to a mesmerizing place ‘Mussoorie’. I was a part of this extra-ordinarily exciting camp which was held during my Diwali Vacation from 1st to 5th of November, 2018. We were a total of 42 students. Our Journey began at 12:30 pm on 1st November, 2018. Travelling all the way from Mumbai to Delhi, we reached the Delhi Airport at 9:45 pm. We had dinner at the airport itself and then experienced a night journey in a bus from Delhi to Dehradun. From Dehradun, we travelled survey roads to reach our camp, which was at ‘Nature Walks Resort’. At the camp we were divided into two groups – ‘Muddy Monsters’ and ‘Green Grenades’ by the main camp instructor. We were then allotted our cottages. After this, our adventure activities began. Our first activity was ‘Zip Lining’. Simultaneously, we learnt typing different types of knots. Then we headed for ‘Rock Climbing’ and ‘Rappelling’ which were tough but incredible. Then, in the evening, we had ‘Bon Fire’… Here, we enjoyed playing ‘Antakshari’ after having soup in a cold weather.
The next day had a new story to tell. We got up to see a rainy weather in the morning at that cold, chilly place! Wearing our ponchos, we trekked to a temple. Following this, we had another activity ‘Raft Building’. First, the groups were to design their rafts, then, with the collective efforts of our team members, we built our raft using ropes, bamboos, and inflated tubes. And then, there was raft racing in the pool… I loved this activity, though only boys were a part of the race. In the evening, girls and boys played a unique game – AIRHOOPY. This was a kind of basketball played using a rope. We also had a high rope course, bonfire and an unforgettable DJ.
The next day, we had an incredible trek – ‘MAGGIE TREK’. I really liked this concept. After a tiring trek, the team members prepared Maggie on the hill. There were two different pots of Maggie each prepared by one of the groups. We also decorated the serving plates to our fullest using leaves, sticks, flowers, etc. to present our trainers and teachers. Then, we had an activity called ‘Stream Runner’. This was indeed the most adventurous activity of the camp. From ice cold water to slippery stones, we had to overcome everything in the fast running stream. I won’t forget the moment I fell in this stream. After this, we had our last, mysterious and fun activity – ‘Guerilla Warfare’. This included tea making, balloon game and tennis ball game.
There was one weird plant – ‘Bichchhu Booty’, from which everyone had to be aware during the entire camp, since it gave an ‘Itchy and Stingy’ feeling if touched for about an hour.
On our last day, we landed on the Mumbai airport at around 12:50 pm. I’m thankful to the enthusiastic camp leaders and teachers (Selwyn Sir, Sushma Miss and Sapna Miss) who had accompanied us on the camp. The camp gave the lessons of punctuality, team building and confidence.

TODAY’S GENERATION….
What is this generation doing? It’s just totally dependant on their parents for things (food and mobiles and clothes and fees. I don’t know much) and the teachers for studies and the internet for homework. But….. who’s actually responsible for this depletion?? Any guesses? No? It’s fine don’t worry. It’s the parents! Haven’t you wondered that parents have been doing things for children since they were born?  Parents do everything for children and then when they reach secondary section they expect them to do every work of theirs without any help from any elder. Let’s talk about STUDIES. So parents make them participate in every competition in the world-from SOF to MARRS. Good job. But you are giving them only bookish knowledge in the syllabus. I wonder how many parents inculcate reading into their children in a proper way when they actually start reading. And then when you’re in grade nine with super poor English teachers ask you to start reading. Not Geronimo or Goosebumps. Tell me, how is this possible if they haven’t even read 40 to 50 pages books on moral values or any kiddie book. I doubt if any child has read or even heard of Calvin and Hobbes. Have they??? I leave it up to you  to decide how you want to do the Parvarish( I seriously wasn’t getting the word for that. My apologies.) of your children.
Just DON’T
1. Give a smart phone in their hands till they do well in the 10th boards.
2. Be on social media until they turn 13.
3. let them play PUBG or COC or any other stupid violent game.
4. give them lectures about how they are hooked to mobiles since you are as well.
5. don’t do their work always.
6. be super worried about their studies.

It’s been months since,
We were bound together.
That feeling of disharmony,
Turned as strong as leather.
Where we have fun,
But within our limits.
To become a part of us,
You don’t need tickets!
When does something stupid or brave,
Claps go heard louder than thunder.
Though we are all well behaved,
There’s a child naughty skinned under
We are praised everyday,
In some exceptions-we are scolded.
But still we are happier,
Than what we were yesterday.
Because we are an example of unity,
We are more than a class,
We are a family.
