USA – A Thrilling Experience

Hridhima Tyagi, Class VIII B

What a thrilling experience it was

To explore the earth.

To witness the wonders of human hands,

And festivals since birth.

Exploring is a medium

To gain knowledge and have fun.

We can experience different adventures,

Or simply bask in the sun.

It is better than learning from books,

Which blear your eyes,

We are deprived of awareness

And healthy exercise.

Just travel and explore the world

Be it night or day.

This is what I learnt,

From my trip to the USA!

Faces

Alefiya Haveliwala, Class X D

Until

Prateeksha Jana, Class X D

The flower I adored, not the lily,

The one with the sweet, sweet smell

Like burnt sugar and texture

Like taffeta, a bud

Which could be beautiful

That flower rested in my garden

In that summer

Beauty of the light

Heat of the air

Until spring came around

With green grass

Fruits on trees

And the flowers I adored

Adored, till spring came around.

Until the flowers grew around me

The sweet scent turned cloying and deathly

Until they grew on me

And I couldn’t move

I couldn’t breathe.

Everywhere I looked, I saw it

I looked to the mirror

Hoping for sanity

But I saw it.

I tried to get it to unwind from my throat

A necklace of the flowers I adored

Now rotting

Until the spring where they suffocated me…

Reflection

Vibhooti Hasija, Class X D

Do we really know ourselves?

Or are we just strangers?

Strangers in our own bodies

Trying to compete in this rat-race

Never really succeeding.

Do we really know ourselves?

Do we know the person who looks

Back at us from the mirror?

Everyone’s a nameless face

They know what you did

But do they really know who you were?

Actions speak louder than words

Leave such an imprint on someone’s mind

That even if they want to forget you,

They won’t be able to.

Nobody really knows themselves

But if you want someone

To remember who you were,

Pretend that you do.

People dig that.

We’re nothing but strangers living a lie.

Sky

Aryaa Dubey, Class X D

The breeze of the night

The morning sunshine

The rays of thine, Oh beautiful sun

Caressing my face with thy shine

And then you turn.

Turn to undress the bright

And reveal the radiant night

Thou art so exquisite

Thy bosom holds the heart to me.

And when you bestow the drops on me

My heart becomes alive

Beauty is spread as far as you can see

That is what I call life

The stars are thy breath

The garish moon is thy heart

The sun, thy eye,

Bless me, as I part.

USA Trip

My Journey as a Tree

Pavitra Somaiya, Class X B

I was very small

Not very tall

When I was sown in the soil

Like a wrapped foil.

Then I grew taller

And converted myself into a bush

Irrigated with fine water

It was the root that I pushed.

Slowly I grew into a plant

With many beautiful flowers

The birds hop around me

Like the shining stars.

The people watched me growing

Into a huge tree

Suddenly, I started showing myself

As though I could fee.

I became attached to my surroundings

Like a human being

But then I realized

That it was my last scene.

I gave oxygen to earth

And treated this planet as a child.

All the love I gave

Was somewhere felt very mild.

Unfortunately, I had to go

Leaving all those lovely moments

‘coz life is like a cycle

Which never ends.

A SALUTE TO MOMS

By Tanisha Shah, Class VIII B

MOM!!!!!!!

It is a word which makes the whole world for a child. A small word to address someone who made one’s life.

Mom

You are the one who gave us a lively and happy life. You are the one who faces all the troubles that come on her child.

You are amazing, magnanimous, loving, caring,

‘MY WORLD’

THANK YOU

FOR making me feel special.

FOR always protecting me

For always being the best

I KNOW THIS MUCH IS VERY SMALL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR US BUT STILL…….

ALL MOMS, YOU ROCK!

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A SUPERSTAR

HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY

हक़ बनता है

A poem by Mrs. Alka Jain, Educator.

Dedicated to Mrs. Preeti Phadnis on her farewell.

School – The Wonderful Place

By Tanisha Shah, Class VIII B

School is the place I enjoy to go,

From when my learning stage was very slow

I’ve been spending eight hours here each day

Since 12 years ago.

This is the place

Which helped me accomplish my dreams.

It is the place which cleared the troubles,

Which hindered my achieving streams.

I am thankful also

For setting my career base.

I promise to maintain the dignity and grace

Of such a wonderful place.
