Rescuing A House On Fire! 2007-08-19 09:51:00 I tripped several times as I walked along this path to explore the old but majestic house, which stood amidst the hills carpeted in green. It was now ruined with its beautiful white stones falling down. I imagined how grand and splendid it would have been some years back and it would surely be a treat to the eyes to look at it then! But it was now all dilapidated and unoccupied. Wild flowers grew in the crumbling walls. A wild plum tree grew straight out of the floor where had there once been the garden ground. Lizards scuttled over the stones while a melodious cuckoo sat on the empty window and sang its heart out. My family was visiting the hill side to spend our vacations. I was taking my usual morning walk when I discovered this house. Filled with curiosity and inquisitiveness, I decided to explore it. It looked a bit strange among the dainty blue bells and beautiful prim-roses that grew near the hills and oh! yes, a host of golden daffodils swaying in the breeze was in sig Read more:House
An Encounter With A Bee 2007-08-18 07:03:00 Once I saw a bee That couldn’t fly And then I exclaimed “Oh my my!” I asked him about this mystery He told me that he had no wings Then I stopped wondering Why it didn’t hover above the swings I then asked him how he traveled He told me an answer without any fuss He said that he traveled Comfortably in a bus!!!This is another attempt on poetry by me. Hope you liked it. Did you? Please let me know....... Read more:Encounter
Oh! You Can’t See Me….. 2007-08-15 07:27:00 Have you guys ever pondered over how much fun you could have by playing pranks on others and they couldn’t see you. Or in simple words – what would you do if had (oh, Yes!) an invisible cloak? This is what I thought about last night and eagerly wrote this journal to express my thoughts before you. So, tighten your seat belts and get ready to go on a roller coaster ride. Hurray!! One bright morning I lazily woke up late and had to hear a sound scolding from my mother. I hastily got ready. It was then that I noticed a brown package lying on my table. It was addressed to me! There was no sender’s name on it. Full of curiosity, I opened the package and watched in astonishment a rather dark & worn out cloak coming out of it. Oh! I said in dismay as I had expected a whole treasure of candies and chocolates or anything more interesting than this dull cloak. I could not restrain my feelings to wear the cloak once before I threw it away (as I had thought of eventually doing). I t
Me, The Great Astronaut, Who Spacewalked !!! 2007-08-13 05:16:00 It was a fine Sunday morning that I received a letter from NASA saying that my name had been short listed in the top 10 candidates to go on the moon. Wow! I exclaimed rubbing my eyes with astonishment! Oh, I was just reading the really inspiring interviews of Sunita Williams! I hope you all have heard the name of Sunita Williams who had recently gone to space. You can see her picture here. After reading this article, my imagination went wild and I visualized my own journey to space which I describe below: I had never imagined in my best dreams that I would be selected!!! After this I had to join the training program for some days. At that great place they mainly taught us about American and the Russian type of space stations. You need to know about the heating system, all the energy, how to regulate that, power and motion control and how the space station orients itself.(Learnt all these by reading the interviews of Sunita Williams). It’s pretty fun actually if you are inte Read more:Great

A Game of Brainies ! 2007-08-12 06:50:00 Do you people know that I play chess too? This time I am here to encourage you to join this game!! The history of chess states that chess was invented in my country-India (which I proudly reckon). I am sure that you would have heard that chess is a real boring and time-consuming game to indulge yourself into, but this is not so. With the invention of a chess clock you can play a very fast and exciting game of even 5 or 3 minutes!!! Now that I have cleared one of your misconceptions but you still aren’t motivated then read on……… O.K. Now it’s time to motivate you further! This is especially for students because this game (I bet) is really beneficial for them. The game of chess is really good for a healthy mind. Only reading does not make you intelligent so you should learn to play chess too!! It makes your brain sharp and active. It increases your concentration level too. It helps in enabling your brain to think hard before you choose a particular option. Thus, i
A Memorable Maddening Journey ! 2007-08-11 11:19:00 Did I tell you all about my worst experience of traveling in an Indian train? I suppose not, so then this is the ideal opportunity. When my summer vacations started on May 19, my family had planned a trip to our native place. We were supposed to travel this long journey by train. I grumbled and groaned at the thought of this. Nooo ! I never wanted to travel in those trains once again, but who cared??? I reluctantly climbed aboard the train. When I struggled in the vast crowd and reached my seat, I learnt that with a lady would be sitting next to me. How really irritating ! this lady had sharp features and a loud mouth. She wore luxurious clothes and looked wealthy. I despised looking at her and settled down comfortably on my seat with a book. Unluckily this lady had decided to make life a hell for me and she literally succeeded. Oh yes guys ! believe me she did ! She was as I said a proud and wealthy lady but that was not the trouble. The problem was that she boasted too much ! Read more:Journey
Oh Yeah !!! I Caught A Thief ! 2007-08-10 12:16:00 Do you people know about the horrifying comedy of my life ?? If you don’t, read on to find out about it ……….. It was a stormy day and the black sky blazed when the thunderstorm struck ! The rain was pouring down at the window of my room where I lay thoughtfully yet scared on my bed. I was not terrified due to the gloomy weather outside but the news I saw on the idiot box an hour ago made me jump out of my skin. Oh no ! I am not a person who is easily scared of anything which includes reptiles, ghosts, parents or teachers but excludes my fear for burglars. Sure you would be surprised, but that night I tossed and turned in my bed because I had heard that the most dangerous gang of burglars ‘the Masked Men’ had entered our city. Unable to get a sound sleep, I decided to indulge myself in a book but I was disturbed by the abrupt sound that my sharp senses picked up in the house. Ah ! here it goes again arrrrhh….tttt…. aah ! someone certainly was there. I brought cour Read more:Caught

I think I have dozens of interesting books in my tedious, normal life and Oh ! yes it has been my most adorable dream to meet these characters alive . Great isn’t it ??? The clock had just struck midnight and I sat there on my table drooling over my really boring History book for the great test tomorrow. Every part of my body ached and I longed to sleep on my comfortable bed. I could see the last light in the house at my father’s study being switched off and then my feelings took the better hand of me. I could not stop myself from taking an enrapturing book from my cupboard and settling down on the rocking chair in my study. Life seemed to be a much better place to live with this great book of Nancy Drew in my hand but Voila! The next second I saw nothing but darkness all around me and suddenly I was standing under the bright sun with Bess & George. My mental machinery had abruptly stopped worki Read more:Characters

The Eighth Book of Harry Potter is being released! 2007-08-05 10:12:00 I have just obtained this information from confidential sources that the Eighth
book of HarryPotter
is being released very soon next year...... I have also come to know that in this part Lord Voldemort returns and takes his revenge on Harry Potter. The book ends with a traumatic ending with Harry dying an awful death…… Oh, Ok guys Come-on I was just kidding!! Hope you were not befooled by my joke! This journal is sure going to be interesting especially for all Potter crazy people like me and maybe also for all people who don’t like Harry Potter (don’t expect there are any !! ). I just finished reading the latest Harry Potter and also watched Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. Both of them are simply fabulous! I was waiting much eagerly for the release of the much hyped Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. After reading it I am absolutely sure it deserved all the fame it got. I was rejuvenated to go back into the magical world of H
I AM SURE I HAVE THE BEST MORNING RIDE 2007-08-04 02:54:00 Hello to everyone! Welcome back! Today I’d like to tell you all about or Oh! Yeah got it! About my daily morning ride to school! How’s that? (Oh wait!! If you think this is going to be boring I hope you will change your opinion after reading this!!! So read on …) I am a person who likes to sleep till the bright morning sun is shimmering in the sky and then unfortunately my mother yells at me to wake – up! (Or I would sure have slept late and missed school!) So I wake up reluctantly. Once I am fresh I look eagerly for my exciting day ahead!! I then force my father to leave his daily morning newspaper and take me to school in the car. I open the window so that I can feel the cool morning breeze brush past my cheeks. At times I see many small mustard flowers which look delighting amidst the lush green grass!! I take this as a good omen and I am further thrilled about the day! Next on my list is the small temple near our house. There is a pries
SCHOOL – (MILLION DOLLARS FOR GUESSING IT IS FUN!!!!) 2007-08-03 10:14:00 Hiiiii guys! Welcome to ‘MY WORLD ‘which is like any common life of a student and a dedicated daughter (sure my parents would disagree to my latter point!!) The most boring yet funny, hectic yet enjoyable thing in my normal life is (O.K no million bucks for guessing)- “ SCHOOL”. Hope the elders are not remembering their most enjoyable stage in life – CHILDHOOD (The youngsters would certainly disagree- I too am in the league!!) My school is fabulous!!! I love it, except my teachers who only believe in burdening the study load of the poor students! It is of-course boring and tiresome at times – especially during the History classes where I literally go to sleep – sorry! Can’t help it! You sure don’t know about the most hilarious incident that happened yesterday during the History class until you were present there! All the back-benchers as usual dozed off during the History lectures. This time our teacher denied to spare these mischievous monkeys ( sure it does no

The Land Of Paper People 2007-08-22 12:11:00 “Hurry up! I can’t really wait so long to explore this house”, shouted the excited Mak to his elder sister Maria. “Coming, a minute please” replied Maria. Mak & Maria are twins aged 10. Mak is taller and stronger than Maria and thus more obstinate. They both have just moved into the countryside and have now bought a great old house as their abode. Their parents are unpacking the belongings and so Mak & Maria believe this is the right opportunity to explore this house. “We’ll be back in an hour, Mom”, shouts Maria running as fast as her legs could carry her. With her long hair tied in a pony she is exhausted when she reaches the old staircase where the burly Mak is scowling at her for coming so late. Soon thereafter they started exploring the house and decided to start with this old staircase. “Ah!”, says Mak “that fifth stair looks a bit weird and out of place. Isn’t it a bit strange?” But Maria had already started the race to that step. Mak followed

So help those who you think Are in need of charity And you yourself Should impede spending lavishly Stop being so wicked And fill your heart with compassion For those who can’t have anything Except heart-rendering pain!Do you agree?

My discovery of the ‘Blogosphere’! 2007-08-20 13:16:00 It was a dull winter Sunday. The city was covered with cold white snowflakes and unpleasant frost. The bright shimmering sun was behind a huge cloud. This made my morning more dreary and gloomy. I woke up hoping for a good day ahead, but the opposite was in store for me. I decided to have a bath in hot water in order to protect myself from the dreadful weather outside. I poured the water on myself thinking it was hot but I had a hard lump in my throat when I understood that the water was biting cold. Oh yes, My hand and feet became numb and I stood there for a few seconds as an ice-statue. Suddenly, the gravity of the situation struck me hard and I was so irate that I opted out of taking a bath today. I felt sticky and uncomfortable but my strong willed nature controlled my feelings. I then went down to have a sumptuous breakfast. Wow! The plates were full of my favorite dishes. I forgot all my anguish and decided to devour this feast. I cursed my lucky stars when I saw a fly Read more:Blogosphere
IM Language Improves Grammar and Vocabulary!! 2007-08-26 09:51:00 People all over the blogosphere say that development of improper language used in IM and e-mails has resulted in adversely influencing the grammar of children.

Please let me know and give your valuable opinion. I am planning to write a detailed article on this subject (from a child’s point of view, of course) after conducting a comprehensive study within a month’s time. Therefore, your opinion on this shall be highly appreciated. Wats ur thought, huh? U shld tell me abt it pleaseeeeeeeee! He…..he…. gr8 topic isn’t it?? Waitng fr ur ansrs……..lol! bb.

Absent Minded Professor 2007-08-25 09:22:00 There sitting on the computer For hours and hours and hours My father sat on a chair As if he was on a different planet like Mars! Oh! He is really a genius An unexpectedly good one Born in our family I’m sure I will be the next one But no matter how much he tries And looks around hard by using both eyes He still can’t find his car keys Which I can see lying near his thighs!! Is there any one in your family who is as absent-minded as my father? I will certainly not know about it until and unless you tell me. So why hesitate to inform?

Overcoming Your Fear 2007-08-23 13:21:00 “Oh no mom, I can’t go there all alone! It’s so dark in the attic.” said the feeble voice of Williams. William is a 12 year old boy who is scared of almost everything around him. He is terrified of his teachers, parents, ghosts, reptiles but all this is a trifle compared to his fear for darkness. Oh yes! He is too scared of the dark. He has a weird feeling of unknown things brushing past him in the unpleasant darkness. He usually ends up hurting himself by tripping over a table or chair. This small brown haired, dark-eyed child is too different from his classmates because he has such a strange nature. Thus he has no friends and is scared or lonely most of the time. One fine day, Mrs. Jones, William’s mother decided to take him to the bank so that he does not sit idle the whole day. William reluctantly followed his mother as he had no other alternative. They had a brisk walk to the small bank nearby. They entered the bank and sat down on the long rows of chairs to wait for t
Can I Change The World?? 2007-08-30 11:16:00 I wish there was a tree On which I could live free Like a bird in the air Who has freedom every where I wish there was a day On which people, were happy & gay And I could see no one Weeping and crying but having fun I wish people were not greedy And thought of all those who were needy There should’ve been greenery all around And I would’ve lived in a house that was round I wish I could have lots of candies Without having any cavities And thus my wish list surely does continue Wishing for a world that’s all new!!Wow! I really can't believe I wrote this poem. All my wishes embedded in one poem itself! Great, isn't it? I would appreciate if you could share your wishes with me too........... Read more:Change

Abracadabra! - My One Day Wonder!! 2007-08-29 00:40:00 One fine Sunday morning, during my summer holidays, I was sitting under the scorching heat of the sun waiting for my friends on the playground. I had been sitting there since an hour and believed that I would roast if I sat there a second longer. The immense excitement it offered to indulge myself in a great game of hide-and-seek compelled me from going back. Alas! My friends had entirely forgotten about this afternoon appointment and were watching the television at home. Then suddenly I saw something lying near my feet. Full of inquisitiveness I decided to have a closer examination of it. I then understood that it was only a small piece of wood, but there was something in it that attracted me. Oh yes! It’s striking resemblance to Harry Potter’s wand. I chuckled foolishly to myself. I was then determined to check it out for entertainment. I drew a circle in the air with the wand and ordered it to produce a great feast before me. I was stunned and dazed when my Read more:One Day

Laugh Till You Drop!! 2007-09-02 14:52:08 Everyone has a funny bone, so today I am back to tickle your bone till you don’t fall off your chair (laughing of course!). Hope you enjoy it! Funny Animals A struggling actor walks into a zoo for work. “The Gorilla has died. I will pay you $ 300 to dress in this monkey suit and amuse the visitors.” Says the manager. The actor agrees but the visitors soon get bored of him and move on the lion’s cage. Desperate to keep his job, the actor climbs up the lion’s cage and dangles just out of the reach of the lion. This infuriates the lion but amuses the visitors. He performs this stunt attracting a huge crowd. Thrilled, the manager gives him a bonus. The next day, he loses his grip and lands at the feet of the lion. “Help, Help me” he shouts in terror and starts running. “Shut up! Do you want both of us to lose our job??” asks the lion as he pounces on him. Sleep-o-mania “You’re sleeping on the job again! This is too much! You’
