I AM A RIVER

 

I start my journey from the snow-clad mountains

Jumping joyfully, I come down to the plains

The radiant sun shines through my water

I am lovingly called the beautiful earth’s daughter

I flow through many cities, towns and villages

Kids play in me while elders worship me since ages

Giving everyone my water, I feel so gleeful

Please don’t pollute me, be a little careful

Calm and serene, I run through my course

Splashing happily with rocks, I have no remorse

I finally join the ocean so mighty

Always be kind, compassionate and helpful just like me!

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

MY EXPERIENCE OF THE SCHOOL CARNIVAL

  Excitement was in the air. It was almost time for my first school carnival. We had worked hard to make this event flawless and memorable for all. We were making decorations since weeks. We were perfecting our speeches in our minds continuously.   Our teachers were also working tirelessly making everything better. They were pouring their heart into making this carnival a huge success. We had butterflies in our stomachs. I, especially, was a bit petrified as it was my first time handling a stall. Also, I couldn’t wait to experience this amazing carnival! The carnival was divided into two days. The first day was ‘The Fete Fiesta’ followed by ‘The Open House’. The Fete Fiesta would be a lot of fun as there would be games, rides and delicious food. I reached there with my parents. I met up with my friends and had a great time. We played games till our heart’s content and also won a few prizes. The energy there was electrifying. Most of all, our principal ma’am’s enthusiasm was truly inf

She couldn’t go alone to the attic at night. Anika decided to explore the attic in the morning. Anika was kind, helpful and brave girl. She always wore a pink bow in her hair and her favourite colour was blue. Anika lived in a big house with her parents. Her house had a beautiful garden and she loved playing in the garden. In the morning, she quickly woke up and got ready. She was very excited. She told her mom that she was going to play in the attic. She went to the attic to inquire about the sound.

Anika was shocked. Anika entered the tunnel. She walked and walked for quite some time. When she reached at t
