Truth Hurts - My experience

Truth Hurts - My experience
21-Nov-2017

Once upon a time I was playing a video game. But the bad thing was that i was doing it without my mother knowing. I did for days and days and months and months. But whenever I did it I couldn't resist myself from playing. I knew that whatever i did was wrong. But i was addicted.

In the bottom of my heart something was telling me to tell my mom about this. But i thought that if I tell my mom then she will scold me. But the urge to tell my mom kept increasing and I had butterflies in my stomach. Bad butterflies. When the urge to tell my mom kept increasing I decided to tell my mom. I came to my mom and started crying. Just crying. I told my mom about it. And my heart felt light. Very very light after that.

Haikus on nature

Summer here again
Music plays sweetly, drifting
And life is renewed

An octopus went
off to war. It's a good thing
that he was well armed

An afternoon breeze
expels cold air along
with the fallen brown leaves

Mr.Cloud Mr.Cloud,
Do you play with the Sun?
Do you feel proud,
and do you have fun?

Do you talk to the birds
When they come by?
I have heard,
you telling them hi!

Do you talk to the Stars,
at the dark night?
Or, are they far
but you can still see their light?

Oh Please! come down
Mr.Cloud Mr.Cloud

My trip to Goa

My Trip to Goa
Dec 2017

When I went to Goa I had been to Palolem beach, Patnam beach and Colomb beach.

It is good if you take your own car to Goa because you wouldn't have to book a cab all the time. You can even rent a scooter or a bike there. But if your family has more than 2 people then it is better you take a car.

When you go there you will see many Europeans and Americans. Do not stare at their accent or looks because they would feel odd.

You should carry your own swimsuit. The dress shops and the restaurants are very nice. In Mobar beach we collected many shells. There is parasailing in Mobar beach. I and my sister saw a humongous jelly fish in Mobar beach. There are many crabs and mollusks.

We also went to Agonda beach. In Agonda beach the waves are very strong and nice. We even went to a church called 'basilica of bom jesus' where the body of  St. Francis Xavier is kept. The architecture is very nice in the church

The Lazy Frog

If I were a frog
I would sit on a log

I would swim in a well
How deep no one can tell!

I would catch a fly
that would pass by

With my tongue so long
it wouldn't be wrong
to catch a fly
or a dragon fly

I would be happy
and very jolly!

Guess who I am

I sore through the sky

But a bird I’m not

When you see me from the ground

I look like a dot

I have windows

And I also have wings

I carry people

And I also carry things

I am huge

I am humongous

And my mechanics

Are stupendous

I even move faster

Than the fastest train

Can you guess who I am?

You have to use your brain!

I want this & I want that

I want to play

I want to run

I want to sleep

I want to have fun

I want a dog

And I want a cat

I want this

And I want that

If you get what you want

Then you’ll become greedy

And you may stop

Helping the needy

You shouldn’t buy wants

But only needs

You shouldn’t show

Even a single drop of greed

Now you know

What to do and not

And don’t buy stuff

Which you’ve already got

We will miss you

From Prakriya you are graduating
Going to 11th grade is an important thing

You leaving from Prakriya will be sad
I hope you don't feel too bad

I hope there are trees here and there
In your new school, greenery should be everywhere

Study well I hope you do
We will certainly miss you

Pigs are pretty, not dirty

I love pigs
They look very pretty
And pigs are not
Animals that are dirty

Pigs normally roll in the mud
But now they role in the drain
Pigs naturally eat food
Like carrots and grains

The pigs role in the drain
Because finding mud is tough
Nowadays there are only buildings
And the pigs have had enough

Now carrots and grains
Are not available everywhere
But now there is rubbish
Always here are there

So please don't litter
It is really sad
That we are changing the pigs life
And that is really bad

Let's save the earth

Save the nature immediately

Our earth has lost all it’s beauty

We cut down all the plants and trees

Only for our wants not needs

Let us save the earth so that

Our children will have a life worth

Living in nature

Will give them lot of pleasure

We have to say

That I will play

A role in saving the earth

Let’s save the earth!

Who is this Monster!

I was so happy
that I shouted Yippee!
Someone said yippee again
and they copied me!

Is it a Monster?
Or, is it my brother?
Is it a ghost?
Or, is it my mother?

Whatever it is,
it is very scary
It might be a beast
which is enormous and hairy

I told my mother
she said she knows
who the monster is
It was Mr.Echo!

Bloody Red Lunar Eclipse

7:20 I am seeing the Lunar Eclipse

I am seeing the eclipse

It is very beautiful

The red colour

Looks so wonderful!

One side is red,

Black is the other

In the middle

It’s the blend of colours

Now it is red

But normally white

Now it is dim

But normally bright

It is very dim

Because of pollution!

Not making any pollution,

Is the only solution!

The Moon is awesome

The Moon is pretty

The Moon is spectacular

And Red very very!

7:45   The lunar eclipse after 25 minutes

The Moon was red

Now one corner is white

Before, the whole was dim

Now, one corner is bright

The eclipse is going

And the white is coming

It still looks beautiful

And like a pretty ring

Oh! Look at the Moon

The white has increased

And the pretty red part

Has certainly decreased

Oh! When will I

Probably see

The next lunar eclipse

Next month maybe!

8:02 The eclipse is going away

Now the moon

Is almost half white

The poor red part

Is not at all Bright

The moon is still amazing

But the red part

Is almost black and

can be good to draw in art

Just One hour ago

To the eclipse, I said hi

But now it’s going away

I will have to say, Bye!

8:24 The red portion is gone!

The Moon’s white portion

Has come out of the Eclipse

The Moon will be white

Completely now soon!

The pretty lunar eclipse

Is going to end

I hope I have become

The eclipse’s close friend

The awesome lunar eclipse

Is now almost done

When the eclipse was going on

I hope you had fun

8:40 The eclipse is gone

Now the wonderful moon

Has turned completely white

And is now very

Pretty and bright!

The eclipse is gone

Our moon is now a full moon

I felt the eclipse

Went away so soon

The lunar eclipse was stupendous

And is now done

The eclipse was spectacular

I hope you had fun!

Jealousy

When my friend went on a merry-go-round

My jealousy knew no bounds

When she came to me to say

Hey! Isn’t it a lovely day?

Very rudely I would reply

And that would end up making her cry

Then one day, she came to me

And I told her don’t you see

With you, I don’t want to talk

Nor do I want to walk

With you, I will not play

So please just go away

Without a word she went away

But then I got to know, it was her birthday

All because of my Jealousy

I wasn’t invited to her Party!

light the candle

When I was robbed

When I was robbed,

I picked up the telephone

And complained to the police

In a very angry tone.

The very next day

The police caught the felon.

I thought the only place

Meant for him is prison.

He was called to the court

And I was delighted.

But things did not go

As I had expected

That wicked robber

Was granted bail

When I thought

He was going to jail!!!

Said the Table to the Bear

Said the Table to the Bear,

I hope you are aware

Every day I get very bored

Oh! I wish I could walk on the road.

Oh! But my dear Table,

On you always there’s an Aesop’s Fable

Why don’t you read it all day?

From Sunday to Saturday.

Oh well Bear! I have read

How many times! That’s hundred!

Bored I get every day!

Give me a solution,

I’ll do as you say.

If you get bored every day,

Together we can play,

Then you will be happy

Oh Table! You will smile with glee.

Well Bear, what can we play?

I stay hear all day!

I hope you know, I can’t run

So, playing with me will not be fun!

Well Table, Aren’t you brainy!

Why can’t we play Anthakshari?

Then the Table never complained

And Anthakshari they always played.
