  • LETTER TO ANAYA ON HER 9TH BIRTHDAY

    28/08/22

    Darling Anaya,

    Today you are 9. This is your last year in single digits. How cool is that? I close my eyes and still see a cute tiny human with chubby cheeks. You still have the same sparkle in your eyes albeit with glasses (😊) You are growing leaps and bounds. You grew so much taller this year. You started your 3rd grade and gave your first exams.

    My baby, we are amazed by how funny, loving, kind, helpful, thoughtful, intelligent you are. You are gorgeous inside and out. You see the world in such a special way, we love that. You have so amazing talents. Your love for books is out of this world and your writing is exceptional. And we hope you continue with that. You love learning new facts. Your knowledge and grasping of English language is outstanding. Your logic and arguments amaze us. We love to play ‘For and Against’ game with you. We wish that you will use your logical power to your advantage in future. We hope that you continue to better your strengths and follow your passion. We are so proud of who you are becoming.

    You are very shy and introvert. You have difficulty talking to others mainly to those whom you do not know well. It is hard for you to make friends still you have so many amazing friends in school. This makes us really happy! But sometimes your introvert nature is perceived as rudeness. You need to improve on that. Sometimes you lose your temper very quickly and we want you to be stronger and more independent. Hope you will work on overcoming your weaknesses.

    Last year was very difficult for all of us both physically and mentally. We are so glad that you faced everything bravely and came out stronger.

    Our wish for your birthday is that you forever and always believe how special and wonderful you are. Always be confident enough to be you. Always remember we are always here for you to hold you, to help you, to encourage you, to love you, to comfort you, to guide you. Baby, you bring so much joy into our lives and you have made our lives so so much better and we love you to infinity and beyond!

    Now to your favourite part – the advices. Some are new and some are repetition from last letter because they are immensely important. We hope you will always try to incorporate them into your life.

    1.       There will be people who don’t love you or like you or accept you or understand you. It is OK. Do not take it to your heart and as Elsa says ‘Let it go.’ You just stay true to who you are, we promise you will always be enough.

    2.       Laughter is really the best medicine. Your laugh light up the room. Laugh more.

    3.       Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard. However talented you are, if you won’t work hard, you will be left behind.

    4.       You have always been inquisitive, but as you are growing and learning more about the world, you have had more questions. Keep asking them, Baby Girl. That way you will learn the most.

    5.       You can talk about anything with us even if you think we won’t like it. there is no topic that affects you that we don’t want to know about. We will have opinions; we might even have to step in to strongly guide you back on the right path but you will always find us in your corner.

    6.       Appreciate happiness and celebrate achievements, however small.

    7.       The most beautiful thing you can wear is confidence. Believe in yourself.

    8.       Listen more and listen attentively.

    9.       Write your thoughts. It brings clarity to the mind.

    10.   Wherever you are, try to find beauty around you. A cloud looking like a duck, a smiling face, a magnificent tree, a gorgeous flower, a fascinating line of poem. It gives your mind positivity.

    11.   Don’t worry about things you can’t control.

    12.   Spend time in nature.

    13.   Winning is not a goal. Learning and growing is.

    14.   Be open to new experiences and ideas. They teach a lot.

    15.   If it feels wrong, it is.

    16.   You create your own joy. Do not let others steal your happiness.

    17.   Whatever you do, do it with an intention of doing it the best.

    18.   Good Education is the only way for brighter future.

    19.   No secrets from mom and dad. Ever.

    20.   Life will not always go how you planned it and you will not always get what you want. Learn to face disappointments with dignity.

    That’s all for this year.

    We love you more than we ever thought possible and we are so glad you are ours.

    Happy birthday, Gucci!

    Love,

    Mamma and Daddy

  • DANCING IN THE RAIN

    Oh how I love dancing in the rain

    Join the peacocks and go insane

    Dance so much till my heart is full

    Looking around everything is beautiful

    I would jump high in muddy puddles

    Strain my clothes and I would be in trouble

    I would catch the raindrops on my palm

    Listen to the singing breeze in calm

    Pitter patter pitter patter the rain would drop

    I wish this music would never stop

    Make some paper boats and float it in rain

    Watch them go and vanish in the lane

    Clouds in the sky would be dark and black

    It would be a perfect time to have a hot snack

    Colourful umbrellas would cover the street

    All the benches would be too wet to sit

    With all the rain water, the plant would grow

    Bathing in the rain, the trees would glow

    I would wait for the Sun to come out of clouds

    So I could see a rainbow looking very proud

    Fragrance of the soil would cover the air

    You would feel pure joy everywhere!

  • ‘If I lived in the Stone Age’ in Times NIE 18/7/22

  • IF I LIVED IN THE STONE AGE

    If I lived in the stone age, what would I do?

    There would be no TV or airplanes or internet too

    There would be no Netflix to watch in my free time

    To buy the things I need, I wouldn’t even have a dime

    How would I talk to someone If I had something to say?

    May be my hand gestures would come into play

    I am sure I would be the first one to discover fire

    Tree leaves sewn together would be my attire

    All the wild animals would become my friends

    All day and night, in great fun, we would spend

    Out of all the jobs, I would take up farming

    I think living in the forest would be pretty charming

    I would make the cutest cart out of wood

    Live in a cozy cave and eat many delicious fruits

    I would climb on many tall trees

    And get some sweet honey from the bees

    In the stone age, there would be no rules to follow

    I would swim in the rivers not so shallow

    I would make tools using stone, wood and sticks

    And make a comfy house by inventing bricks

    In the stone age, there would be no school

    How would I learn new things? That’s not cool.
