DREAMS IN SCRIBBLES

Hopes and dreams in ink

  • मैना आती है मेरे घर

    गाना गाती है पेड़ पर बैठ कर

    खाना खाती और पानी पीती मेरे साथ हर दिन

    कभी नहीं जाती मुझे मिले बिन

    प्यारे प्यारे उसके बच्चे

    लगते है मुझे बहोत अच्छे

    पीली पीली है उसकी चोंच

    खेलु उनके साथ रोज़ अैसी है मेरी सोच!

  • Sparrows are fascinating little birds

    Their chirp chirp sound is nice to be heard

    In India 5 type of sparrows can be found

    26 species are in the world all around

    They are very social, they live in flocks

    Sing beautiful songs, that’s how they talk

    They swim underwater and love to hop

    They make nests in the holes and on the tree tops

    But sparrows are now falling in population

    We must all work towards their conservation

    Plant more trees for them to make a home

    So in search for a place they don’t have to roam

    Keep out a bowl of their favourite grains

    And some water too when it does not rain

    Reduce air pollution that we must do

    That will help sparrow grow to many from a few

    Sparrows will then be very thrilled

    Hearing their chirp again, our wish would be fulfilled.

  • Mother O Mother, you are my shining light

    You are so bright

    I love you more than anyone else on the Earth

    When you are around, I am full of mirth

    You take me wherever you go

    Near or far, high or low

    You make my day the best

    And you never take any rest

    You make delicious food

    The smell of it cheers up my mood!

  • Mamma, I love you

    You have so much to do

    I hug and kiss you with all my might

    I feel that you are always right

    Mamma, you are so versatile

    I cannot live without you even for a while

    I am thankful to God for a fact

    That my mamma is so perfect

    You are marvelous

    You are the best mamma in the whole universe

    You are so smart

     You conquer every art

    I want to say it out loud

    My mamma is my world!

  • BOOM- THUD! Anika heard a sound coming from the Attic. Anika was sleeping in her room. It was late at night. Anika heard the sound and woke up. She was scared. 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. She started to look around. The attic was dark and there were many things lying around. Anika started to look around. Then suddenly Anika saw an open closet. She looked inside it and saw a tunnel. Anika was shocked. Anika entered the tunnel. She walked and walked for quite some time. When she reached at the end of the tunnel, she was stunned. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She saw a big garden full of flowers. The flowers were singing. There were big trees with purple fruits. Anika plucked one fruit and ate it. Suddenly, she got wings and started to fly. Anika was overjoyed. She saw gigantic dinosaurs and many other animals she couldn’t recognize. She saw a magnificent unicorn on a rainbow. Then after some time, Anika thought her mother would be worried. She must go back to her home now. But she was lost. She didn’t know the way back. She decided to ask someone but who? There was no one around. Anika was terrified. But she was a brave girl. She didn’t lose hope. She decided to look for help. She walked for some time and found a sleeping dragon. She asked “Excuse me, Can you please help me? I am lost.” Dragon asked shockingly “Who are you? Why are you here?” Anika told him her story. Dragon said “You are in the womb of the earth. No human has ever come here. I will help you but first you must answer my riddle.” The riddle was

     “What grows when it eats but dies when it drinks?”

    Anika thought hard. Was it plants? Was it any animal? No. Then she knew the answer. The answer was Fire. The dragon was pleased. He said “I will take you back but I have no friends here. Will you be my friend?” Anika of course said Yes. She hopped on dragon’s back and dragon flew her back to the tunnel opening. She thanked the dragon and went back home. Now whenever she is bored, she joins her dragon friend in the womb of the earth. They fly, sing songs with flowers, play games and have lots of fun!

    Moral – Don’t panic when faced with a difficulty. Think calmly and you will find a solution.
