TREE ON A HILL

 

TREE ON A HILL

A little back story -  A while back we were taking a stroll with friends on a Sunday evening when we came across a tree. This single tree was on a small hill in a big field. A stream was flowing nearby. Anaya said " Mamma, I could write a poem on this tree". I replied  " Sure, Baby". Here is what she wrote.....

A crooked tree on a hill is what I saw

I looked at it with an awe

This tree had not a single leaf

It looked very spooky and in grief

Sitting on that tree were black seagulls

They all looked very grumpy and dull

A river was flowing besides the tree

It looked incredibly beautiful to see

This tree was surrounded by grass very thick

I sat on it and had a little picnic

Now the tree was not looking very sad

I think having me there the tree was glad!

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

  I read somewhere that names have powers like magic spells and I agree. My unique and cool name is Anaya Sheth. I really love my name as it means ‘topmost leader’ in Sanskrit and ‘God’s gift’ in Hebrew. I always feel like a leader, thanks to my name. I think that, sometimes, a part of me is my name. My name enlightens who I am, my personality. Like my name, I want to be a leader one day. By leader, I don’t mean in any profession or of any land but leader as a great human being and someone who brings a change to this perfectly imperfect world and to ourselves. Despite my love for my name, there is one thing I don’t like about my name. Many call me ‘Aanya’ or ‘Ananya’. I would prefer them to take some effort in remembering or reading my name correctly. It’s a bit of a hassle correcting them every time. This makes me want to change my name sometimes but then I remind myself that my name is practically who I am. It is the first thing people get to know about me before everything else. J

BOOK REVIEW – THE WITCHES BY ROALD DAHL

  BOOK REVIEW – THE WITCHES BY ROALD DAHL Roald Dahl is my favourite author. He is a British novelist who is a very famous children’s writer. He has written many bestselling books like Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory etc. I have read many of his books and liked them all but The Witches is an extraordinary book, one of the best I have ever read. It is a fantasy and horror book. This is the book which inspired me to write my own stories. The Witches is about a boy and his grandmother who want to get rid of Witches forever. Especially ‘THE GRAND HIGH WITCH’, The ruler of the witches! The witches want to use their weapon to kill all the children of England. They are hatching a terrifying plan. Who will succeed? My favourite part of the book is the beginning – A Note about Witches. It has the perfect description of them. They are not ordinary witches like you see in fairytales. This book is about ‘The Real Witches’. The best character in the book is of ‘The Grand High W
