My Daily Life

It was a cold night yet was filled with the laughter of people.Street lights were not the only bright thing on the road.In fact,the whole town of Pillsbury was decked with fairy lights,wreaths,Christmas trees and ribbons.People went around buying cakes or doing the last minute shopping of gifts.During this hustle-bustle,nobody noticed a young girl of about twelve walking all alone on the road.She was not lost,neither did anybody care.She was dressed in dirty rags and her face was covered with soot.Her hair were all tangled up and wore no shoes.Even in the bitter,biting cold, she bore only a thin jacket and a single glove on her right hand.Her other hand was bare while her tattered jeans possessed a large hole on her right knee.Somebody had stolen her only pair of shoes leaving her to mourn over that alone.Now,seeing the happy,cheerful faces in the crowd made her even sadder.Oh!Why didn't she have no family?Why did she have to spend every Christmas with the stars and moon for comp

Friendship is an eternal bond between two friends which can never be broken. William Penn once said and I quote,"Death is but crossing the world,as friends do the seas;they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass they see face to face, and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die,yet their friendship and society are in the best sense ever present, because immortal." unquote. Friends are said to have true magic within themselves. They can enlighten the life of a poor pauper, a boring businessman and even touch the souls of people who have forever lost hope. Or one might have a normal friend, one with whom they can loaf around with, joke and prank others. Two months ago, a group of fifteen delegates from Paris,France visited my school. Two teachers accompanied them. I hosted one of the students who visited my school. He

“Granny, when will Maya and David come here ?” questioned Ajax. “Oh yes granny, I can’t wait. “ replied Ajax’s twin sister Samantha. “ They will come tomorrow. Be patient. “ replied their granny. During the summer vacations, Maya, David, Ajax and Samantha would visit their Granny every year. They were cousins. While Maya and Samantha were logical and intelligent, Ajax and David were clumsy and drove their mothers crazy. The next day, when Maya & David arrived, Ajax & Samantha rushed to greet their cousins. They all would spend hours together everyday and go for cycling adventures. On one such day, the four cousins took their bicycles and sped off to an old fort nearby. It was believed to be haunted as people said that they would hear strange noises coming from the fort late at night. Rushing off at maximum speed, the four cousins reached the fort quickly. Ajax got off and went towards the door of the fort. The fort was huge and had many windows. Moss covered the

Mr. Dubblin was an old yet a rich man. He was a businessman and lived in Paris. Despite his old age, Mr. Dubblin he loved to travel. Hence, he had met many types of people and also knew many languages. He was a loyal man but doubted everything he saw. One day, he was on a visit to India and decided to use a train to go to the national capital from the north of the country. During the journey, a young but handicapped man came to him with a box of shoe polish. “Do you want me to polish your shoes sir?” asked the boy. Getting suspicious of the boy, Mr. Dubblin shook his head. One of the passengers sitting next to Mr. Dubblin took pity and offered the boy five rupees. Offended, the boy shouted, “ I’m no beggar !”.One passenger called the boy over and asked him to polish his shoes. The boy started polishing the passenger’s shoes when Mr. Dubblin received a phone call. He chated for a few minutes and kept his phone next to him. Suddenly the train halted and the passengers got out. The s

The father of our nation and a leader. A source of guidance and a famed lawyer of his time. Also known as Mahtma, he has not failed to inspire millions of people, maybe even billion. Yes, we are talking about Mahtma Gandhi.   After he returned from South Africa in 1915, he joined the congress and started fighting for India’s independence. He, did not use guns or sword. He used non-violence and satyagarh. This was a tool British did not have. He believed that only way to defeat wrong doers was to make them feel ashamed. He played a vital role in freedom struggle. Mahatama Gandhi was an honest, patriotic, sensitive and kind soul. He made sure that everybody remained honest. He was a true patriotic. His love and dedication to the country was incredible. He was sensitive towards nature and remained kind throughout his life. He is an inspiration for me as he is a perfect role model. A peace loving person, Mahatma Gandhi detested wars. He was not scared of going to jail. Even though h

A few days ago, one of my ex-teacher Ma'am Tarana  asked me for my blog's name and link. A little surprised, I must have shown that on my face to my teacher, that prompted her to give me the reason for asking the same. As soon as I heard what my teacher had to say, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. She was going to share my blog link and name on her for other students to be inspired to take up writing. Ma'am Tarana has a blog named Untangling Life's Web. She posts new words and their meanings and she also shares short poems and stories along with grammar concepts and personal experiences. I frequently read and comment on her blog and have learnt many new words. As soon as I reached home, I told my mother about  the news. My mother was super-excited and proud of me. The next day, ma'am posted a blog with my blog details. It also contained a nine year-old Indo-American girl's blog description.The girl's name is Nitara and she has a blog named Tender quill.
