LONELINESS

2011-11-12T17:50:00.000+05:30

I wandered along the lonely streets,
In the presence of light,
Couldn't remember how I'm here,
Walking along the empty ways!

I dreamt one day,
Of corals and fishes,
Of lakes and trees,
And a dozen more.....

But my dream,of seas and landscapes;
Nothing could I see.
Just the dark empty streets,
Of an unknown place.

My temptations to reach
My destination;
But my legs are not allowing me
They're holding me back!

The more I walk,the more I rest.
Am getting old, I realize,
I think,'must be here all time'
But my faith and hope,
Keeps me travelling
Near and far,here and there.

Only to reach another place of loneliness.........
And never to my destination!

The Young Girl

2011-09-20T20:58:00.000+05:30

I saw her!
The young girl,sitting
At the corner of the street,
Begging for pennys.

Low was her threshold to cold,
Teeth stuck to each other,
Trembling like a leaf,
On a stormy night.

Abbeys walking past her,
Wearing white for easter
Facing towards the shops
Not a single look ,upon her!

The hefty ones
Gave her a crooked smile,
A weird look,
And walked along briskly.
Her mind coerced her for work,
Work made her thinner and thinner,
Bones seen outside,
Clearly and brightly.

My mom came, picked me up,
A last glimpse I gave her-
She was now far away from me
But the world still has no boundaries........

The gushing water

2011-05-04T19:47:00.001+05:30

It pitters and patters,
With a mild breeze,
It has a beautiful smell
The cloudy, dark sky

Birds chirp at it,
Leaves shatter,
And cats,
Leave their ways.

The sound of the gushing water,
From the longest of the pipes,
Forming puddles,
Within the blink of an eye.

Children wading,
Splashing water,
Crows bathing
And drying up the feather.

I just looked up at the sky,
When it fell on my eye.
But it did no harm,

........C' z its the rain!

CHILDHOOD

2011-04-18T18:04:00.000+05:30

I'm growing again,

No wonder

But I want my childhood back!

When I had my school cap on,

Time to play,to count the days,

And to make things with clay!

My first day at school,

That horrible day,

When I had no friends.

My bag and me left out!

But then, it was friends

Who made life comfortable.

Teachers are mothers ,

But not with us everywhere.

I found this out

When I was big.

But my memorable years

When fun had no grade

When friends had no pride

Lovely cuty years

But all gone...

Looking back again at my childhood,

The memorable moments of life ,

Which never die!

EARTH

2011-04-18T17:54:00.000+05:30

More than our mother nation,

To save the Earth is our mission.

She who gave birth to us,

Give back her a kiss.

Once it was a peace land

With trees and plants;

But now it has a change

Cutting trees,strange.

Waste here and there

Not a single care!

Killing animals

Changing ahimsa to himsa.

It is our duty

To love the earth just like our mother

So let us put our hands together,

To'CONSERVE OUR PLANET'

OUR FAREWELL

2010-11-08T19:43:00.000+05:30

On the 18th of February 2010,the 4th standard had a farewell party as we were leaving the primary classes.I was very excited on that particular day.Most of us used a handbag because there were no studies.The only things I carried were some snacks,a bottle of water,my rough book and my diary.Many asked me why I brought this handbag of my mother and my reply was today's specialty-OUR FAREWELL!

I talked with some of my friends and prayed for the time to pass quickly.I was selected for a speech there at our chapel ,explaining my experiences in the primary classes.

Finally when the bell rang we ran up to the chapel. When we reached the chapel,we removed our shoes and kept it outside the open space. The chaplain was already waiting for us but our principal was not there. So the chaplain taught us a very nice song.

At last the principal came. He gave a long speech,and so we had a great mind to play at that time!We had a song and Bible reading by two of our teachers.Then came our speech.A student from each class came to deliver the speech.It was my turn first as my division was A.Most of the speeches had lines saying that our headmistress was very nice.After our speeches we got gifts from the principal-a small card!We went to our classes happily and played lots of games.Our class teacher allowed us to change our places as it was a day for enjoyment.

We had to go to the canteen at 10:30 am .We were surprised, as we were not hungry and it was not the usual the time we eat. Anyhow, going to the canteen made us feel more happy. We ate some parathas,chicken curry and an ice cream.It was a fantastic meal.I and my friend ate fast and went to our classes.

We nearly played for an hour when the teacher called us for the interesting part of the farewell!THE MOVIE.We had a projector in our school auditorium so, film was shown there. We prayed to show us a nice film like three idiots or some others. But to our misfortune,we got a bad English film and the projector didn't produce sound.We were dumbstruck.Our teachers told us to see the film without hearing any sound.What a suggestion!We couldn't understand a word of it. However they asked us to close our eyes and open it only when they say the computer is ready. And of course, we didn't open our eyes at all for the computer didn't get ready.Two periods got lost.

There came in front of us ,the last period!It was a Monday and according to our timetable,Mondays last period was P.T,and the teacher allowed us to go for P.T.So we were not much sad about the film.We conducted a cricket match between classes IV A and IV C.The IV C girls didn't even know how to play cricket so we won the match!

It was time,the bell rang,time to go home after a long day.Time to tell our younger and older friends about this day.And time to tell our parents and relatives about our farewell.We waved goodbye to each other and got in to our buses and travelled far away till no one could see each other.

On that Rainy Day

2010-10-18T08:51:00.000+05:30

It was on the 3^rd of October. The day when the 2010 Delhi commonwealth games started.We didn’t have a television, so we went to my cousin’s house to see the opening ceremony of the commonwealth games.It was raining heavily outside the car but we ignored it.Still the rain grew heavier.Thank God we had an umbrella.

As soon as we reached my cousin’s house ,the electricity went off!. What a badluck! We got into the house and after some time the current came but went again. This is called ‘Thalelezhuthu’. I didn’t have the luck to see the opening ceremony so we went back to our house.

The way back to our house was studded with water. It really had the effect of flood. The water was upto the upper part of the car’s tyre. I saw smoke coming out from a bike. The bike was almost drowned. A boy showed his palm towards us and I was even more scared. My mother asked so many people if this car would go through the water. But no reply from them. My heart really jumped out from my ribs!. But my mother was not so scared. She rode the car sternly and the car got back into the normal road. My heart was positioned back to my ribs!.

We at last reached home and I was relaxed. The next day an uncle came to connect the cable to the T.V

After that I not only saw the opening ceremony of the commonwealth games but the closing ceremony too!

EXPLORING KANYAKUMARI

2010-10-06T23:57:00.001+05:30

I went to explore South Tamil Nadu on a one day trip with my parents,aunt,uncle and my cousin in their car.It was on the 30th of May.The next day our school was going to reopen.I didn't go anywhere for the whole summer vacation,so we thought we will at least go on that Sunday.

Well, we started our journey.We took the -nagercoil route which was easy for us.Our first trip was to the Padmanabhapuram palace in Kanyakumari district.This was the kingdom of the royal Tiruvitamkur family.It was the best palace I've ever gone.Large, with so much space.A malayalam film 'manichitrathazhu's shooting took place here.We thought the 'Verandah' of this palace was made up of original marble.But it was made up of lime,eggs,cowdung,mehendi and eggshells.The effect was even better than marble.The carvings on wood were perfect.Not even a mistake was there. The king's bed was marvelous.The carvings on this bed was perfect.Well,no one can break into the palace easily.I'm sure they'll get lost.They have built the palace in such a way that the king himself would also lose his way easily.I liked this palace very much.I didn't want to leave this place.I even wanted to stay here for the rest of my life!.

Our next site was the marvelous place called Kundankulam.Kundan was the nick name ,my uncle used to call my father,so we teased this place.This place is actually a bird sanctuary.This was an idea of my uncle because he is an environmentalist.The road to kundankulam was marvelous.We were surrounded by the western ghats on one side and the other side was covered with wind mills.This was the best place I've ever gone and it is in called Arulvamozhi.Never am I gonne forget this place in my whole life!

At last the last hill passed and now there was neither a hill nor a wind mill.But as we went straight to kundankulam we had to fight the hottest climate.I thought we were really at last in a desert.It was another world, apart from arulvamozhi.We reached the bird sanctuary.It was like a thirsty camel seeing an oasis in a desert.We too got a glimpse of water.WATER!I was relaxed.This bird sanctuary in this kind of climate was marvelous.Birds from all over the world are here.They migrated from far away places to this place.

We again got the glimpse of a wind mill and hill on our way to Triparap water falls.The route to this water falls was superb.We were surrounded by thousands of trees on each corner.And the same beautiful journey back on the same day ...........made the last day of my holidays wonderful.

A Dark Milky Path

2010-10-01T05:13:00.000+05:30

Once I walked into the forest on a rainy day

I had to meet animals on my way

It was a dark milky path

While animals were having their bath

Strange! the way was full of trees

for a minute I had to freeze

I thought animals were cruel

but how kind they were

Snakes were slithering to me

Monkeys were jumping to me

Birds were chirping at me

Lions were roaring friendly

I thought I didn't want to leave them,

After all I want my parents

My friends lighted me the path

I was back again to sound of vehicles!

DREADFUL DAY

2010-08-13T20:17:00.000+05:30

It was was a dark stormy night, when the clock struck twelve.I heard a knock on the door and felt very scared.I tried to wake my mother, but she was so sleepy.My father had gone for a conference in Chennai.So I tried to go back to sleep.But still the knock went on and on.....

I was fed up hearing that sound, so I thought I will see what is going on.But on my way,something fell from the table to the floor.I was so scared and I ran back to my mother.I was really breathless.At the same time the electricity went off. There was a howling from somewhere.I really screamed.My mother woke up with a startle.She asked me what happened and I told all what had happened.But she didn't believe me.I tried to make her believe,but no change.I felt very sad.She scolded me ,and asked me to go to bed.

I lied down on my bed,praying to god to stop all these dreadful things.

DUM DUMmm!OOOHHHHH!Suddenly a thundering noise and a howling was heard.This time my mother too woke up.She knew what I told was true.So we got up,took a torch and slowly went to the door.We opened the door with shivering hands.And there ......standing on the doorstep was my father!!!

I felt amazed and relieved.My father said he didn't get the train on time!

'Oh'what a day it was!!!

The son of India

2010-06-07T23:43:00.000+05:30

The Most fierce animal of all!

His Pictures are on the wall

He has the colour and glory of the sun

He is Mother India's son !

But why , why is this happening?

Is India not loving those poor animals?

They are lost one by one,

Why, why is India not protecting them?

But friends, we must protect each and every tiger

So let's put our hands together and work

Birth Day party

2010-02-06T09:47:00.000+05:30

My birth day was on 5 th October but my birthday party was on 6 th October. I had my birthday party with two great people from England-Sir Michael Rawlins and Dr.Kalipso Chalkidou. They are the chairman and director of NICE. Dr. Kalipso is from greek. They came to Kerala for a conference. I had my birthday party in Uday samudra Kovalam.My cousin also came for the party.

We talked with them for a long time sitting in the restaurant. We gave them a present – a model of a nice elephant. They also gave a birthday present for me- it was a coin collection. It was a collection of fifty rare coins of the world. I thanked them a lot for the present. Then we talked about the culture of India, London and Greece. They were really surprised when we said about India. Dr. kalipso’ s house was just near the birth place of Alexander the great.She could see his birth place through the window. Sir Michael Rawlins was little bit sad because his country fought against India and Greeks and his country could not win. Our talk was really nice.

Then we had our dinner it was buffet- there were parathas, rotis, rice and so on, there were paneer curry, chicken curry and so many dishes of India and Kerala. We all had fork and spoon-me and my cousin were uncomfortable with those things. After eating, we kept our plates on the table and went for the deserts. We took one from each. They were not nice and it had an ugly taste.

Around 9 o clock we had to part. I was really sad when it was time to part. We said good bye. My birthday party was really nice.

Crow

2010-02-06T08:48:00.000+05:30

Friend of night

King of might.

Eating away all the wastes

And waiting to put waste of paste!

Here and There running and flying

And a lot of noise and lot of crying.

The trees are all full of crows

No problem even though the wind blows!.

The Rabbit Brothers

2009-12-25T03:29:00.000+05:30

Once upon a time in a jungle there lived three rabbits. The elder one’s name was Mike, the middle Fin and the younger ones name was Tom.

Tom was well mannered and polite. But the other two were very naughty. Instead of behaving like Tom, Mike and Fin play pranks on Tom, do naughty things and put the blame on Tom.

One day when Tom was playing with his friends, Mike and fin called Tom to the kitchen and told him to close his eyes. Mike and Fin took two boxes of chilly powder from the top and hid it behind their hind legs. Then they told Tom to open his eyes and when he did so Mike and Fin put the chilly powder all over his face.

Poor Tom!, he ran as fast as his legs could carry him and he ran straight to the pond near his house. That time the elder ones laughed and laughed. They could not control their laughter .They forgot that they were holding the boxes of chilly powder. They held their hands on their mouth .Suddenly all the chilly powder fell inside their mouth. They ran as fast as they can and ran near the pond.

They drank half of the water in the pond. They thought that Tom would never forgive them. But fortunately Tom came and forgave them for their mistake.

Then onwards Mike and Fin became very good rabbits.

My Friends, My Teachers

2009-09-13T19:17:00.000+05:30

4 A is a wonderful class!. Our class teacher is Reena teacher and she is taking the subject science.

Our Maths teacher is Rajeev sir. He is the most famous teacher in the primary section.He is very kind and never scolds us.We all like him so much.Actually we are very lucky to get him as our maths sir.He has told us that don’t ever take him as a teacher, but as your best friend!.

Our English teacher is Rita teacher. She also takes the activity period. During the activity period, children are divided into 5 groups. Each person in that group should bring articles and if we do so that team will get a merit. Our team has got the highest merits!. Rita teacher also encouraged us to start the class magazine and we did so.Our class got special congratulations from our headmistress because only our class only a class magazine in the whole of the primary section of St. Thomas central school.

Oh! I forgot to tell about my friends……

I have so many friends . My best friend is Sandra. We were best friends from the year she joined this school. She is just like the proverb-A friend in need is a friend indeed. Nandana,Gowri, Aryan, Mithun, Abhinav, Devanarayan, Roshan, Kalyani, Nivya, Sandra, Rithik and myself play ice and water during the lunch break. It is great fun to play this game.

Aryan is scared of spiders. Whenever he finds spiders near his bench, he calls Alan and Alan fights with the spiders. But now their seats have changed. Aryan says Rithik is his cousin.Some times he says I’m also his cousin and if I don’t tell like that he would say “India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters”.Alan is really funny. His mouth is full of funny stupid words.

Rithik is the best friend of Roshan and Roshan is the best friend of Rithik.So they are called Rithik Roshan.During the lunch break Roshan sits near Rithik to eat his lunch.

Some fourth standard students will become Prefects. Rithik, me, Sandra, Sera, Alan, Nivya, Madhav, Kalyani, Abhiram, Vybhav and Ammu are Prefects from our class. We should go and mind other classes in the morning when the teachers go for the staff prayer.Rithik and Nivya minds in 3A. I and Abhiram in 1E. Sandra in 3C. Sera in 3D. Alan in 1D. Kalyani and Madhav in 4A and Vybhav in 2D. We all have a Prefect badge. Last year I and Sandra were studying in 3C. Sandra is minding in the same division but in another room. Sera is minding in the same room which I and Sandra studied last year but the division is now D.

Thats all what I have to tell about my friends and teachers. If all the teachers and friends which I have told you are all in my class for the whole year it will be an enjoyable year!!

My Best Friend

2009-07-26T16:37:00.000+05:30

My best friend is of course not a man,

My best friend is very cute

She has wings to fly too!

I can say any wish to her,

She will grand it for me!

And make me fly above the sky!

And take me to beautiful lands,

Where lots of fairies,

And happiness is all around!

But my best friend is not at home,

Neither at school.

She's an imaginary one,

I wish she would be real!

Now, can you guess

Who my best friend is?

A cute little fairy herself!

We went to Mahabalipuram on 28th March.First we went to the five riths (five rathas).It was made by the Pandavas.It was 2000 years back.It is made of rocks.Each ratha is made of 1 big rock.They made the statues of lions & elephants in a single big rock.It was amazing.We took many photos of ours standing near the elephant & lion.

Then we went to the Shore temple.It is situated near a beach.Once it was gone when the Tsunami rose.This temple is also 2000 years old.It is also a stone work.Then we went to krishna's butter bowl.Some people know that krishna likes butter.This is a very very big rock & it is placed on a hill.We were surprised.It was very big in its back& its front was small.After seeing this all we had a big journey back to Mylapore in Madras.It was a 2 hour journey. I liked the way to Mahabalipuram very much.
