Unicorns are Real!

  On 21st June, we celebrate ‘International Yoga day’ What is so special about yoga anyway? My mom was shocked when I asked her this She said 'Sit down and listen to me, Miss' Yoga means 'Union' in Sanskrit Yoga is mentioned in 'Rig Veda' and it's not a myth Yoga was started in ancient India Five Thousand years ago Practise it every day and you will feel the glow Yoga energies our body, mind and soul It teaches you self-control and makes you feel whole It is much more than just an exercise And it is fit for every age or size Yoga brings calmness, flexibility and strength to you So come on get up and try a pose or two My mother's words struck me hard Then and there, I grabbed my yoga mat and ran to the yard! -        ANAYA SHETH

  When I hopped on the plane to the land of the dawn-lit mountains I was so excited; I was going insane I was going to witness India’s first rising Sun It was sure to be tremendous fun All days, we listened to the nature’s sweet sounds Looked at wonders all around The Indo- China border at Bumla pass left me mesmerised What challenging work our soldiers do, I then realised Our visit to war memorial was sorrowful but inspiring Seeing this place was really very empowering I was completely awestrucked by Jung waterfall To describe its beauty, I have no words at all Journey to the hidden gem Tawang was the highlight of my holiday It was quite mystical and picturesque, I must say Living amongst hills and mountains felt really wonderful But surviving without internet was a bit dreadful My trip to Arunachal Pradesh was truly a unique adventure Each day spent there was an absolute pleasure! -      ANAYA SHETH
