  • MY TRIP TO THE LAND OF DAWN-LIT MOUNTAINS

    When I hopped on the plane to the land of the dawn-lit mountains

    I was so excited; I was going insane

    I was going to witness India’s first rising Sun

    It was sure to be tremendous fun

    All days, we listened to the nature’s sweet sounds

    Looked at wonders all around

    The Indo- China border at Bumla pass left me mesmerised

    What challenging work our soldiers do, I then realised

    Our visit to war memorial was sorrowful but inspiring

    Seeing this place was really very empowering

    I was completely awestrucked by Jung waterfall

    To describe its beauty, I have no words at all

    Journey to the hidden gem Tawang was the highlight of my holiday

    It was quite mystical and picturesque, I must say

    Living amongst hills and mountains felt really wonderful

    But surviving without internet was a bit dreadful

    My trip to Arunachal Pradesh was truly a unique adventure

    Each day spent there was an absolute pleasure!

  • GULLIVER’S TRAVELS – BOOK REVIEW

    Review that won her 3rd place in Oxford Big read Competiton, 2023

    Today I wish to talk about a classic – ‘Gulliver’s Travels in Lilliput and Brobdingnag’. This book was first published in the year 1726.It is one of the best-selling novels in the history of English literature. It is written in four parts- all epic and exhilarating. This book is written by an Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift. It is considered author Jonathan Swift’s masterpiece.

    This story is about Lemuel Gulliver’s grand adventures to Lilliput and Brobdingnag. Gulliver, a surgeon, goes on a sea voyage and finds himself in Lilliput and eventually in Brobdingnag. In both lands, he encounters strange people. Some tiny, some of humongous size. Some ill-treat him and some welcome him warmly. Though he longs to return home to his wife and children, he can’t. He is being held captive. What will he do? Will he be able to get free?

     I like the way this book depicts adventure and bravery in an entertaining way. It teaches us about courage and kindness. It has many humourous parts and some frightening ones too which kept me engaged throughout. This is book is very captivating and I could not put it down. I loved the part when a little farmer girl showed Gulliver kindness and even knitted new clothes for him. However, I disliked the part where a little dwarf tormented Gulliver by playing nasty and cruel tricks on him.

    Gulliver’s Travels has many hidden lessons in a funny and heart-warming way. This classic book is a must read!

    ONE ASPECT OF THE STORY I WOULD CHANGE

    If I had to change one thing about the story, I would change the ending. The Queen loved Gulliver still she kept him confined to a box like a ‘pet’. I believe we should treat our pets with kindness and never keep them caged.

    My changed ending:

    The Queen has gone on a voyage with the King. Gulliver has a grand room in the Queen’s castle. He is getting bored. There is no one to talk to. He misses his family but how can he leave the Queen? She loves him so much. He can’t even call his family in this giants’ land. Suddenly, he gets an idea. ‘Why don’t I write a book about my adventures? I can send it to my children to read.’ he thought. He wrote in his little notepad for many many days. When the Queen returned, he showed the book to her. She was clearly impressed but she felt somber reading the last paragraph. Gulliver had written how he felt about being away from his family and how much he longed to be with them in England. The Queen realized how selfish she had been. She ordered her men to bring her best ship to send him back to England. Everyone bid a tearful goodbye to Gulliver. The Queen gifted him a shiny gold locket with a ‘G’ written on it. When he opened the locket, he found a photo of Gulliver and Glumdalclitch. He thanked the Queen and set off. Soon, he reached his wife and children. In England, he published his book and became a bestselling author. They lived happily ever after.

  • WHY GOD MADE FLOWERS

    God looked down from above

    To the world which he loved

    He thought it looked dreary and sad

    And he needed a plan to make it glad

    The world needed something beautiful and colourful

    To make the people more cheerful

    God thought very hard on what to make

    But all his ideas were not that great

    Finally, there was one idea which he liked

    To make some flowers that are bright

    He mixed the colours of the rainbow

    Put them in the seeds and let them grow

    When he looked at the results , he was very pleased

    He had now got what he wished

    Now, people looked more cheery than ever

    The world had become a better place forever!
