Bermuda Triangle
Riddhi Singhania, Class X D
I was a pilot then
Flying the Airbus One-Thirty
It was over the Bermuda Triangle
That I felt the nature was playing dirty.
The radars went off
My hands started shaking
An abyss I saw below
And the plane started sinking.
It was neither the blue ocean
Nor the blue clouds of the heaven
It was indeed a time warp
In which we all were taken.
To the right we saw the civilizations
To the left were the inventions
It showed the whole world together
That even history books don’t mention.
Two or three hours thus passed
We don’t know what happened
But when the enchanting spell was broken
We had already reached our destination.
If I Were A Girl
Adi Dantre, Class X B
What if I were a girl?
My clothes would speak for me rather than my mouth,
My figure would be judged rather than my character,
My opinion would be judged by how boys look at me,
My seat would be decided by my charm,
My cooking skills would take over my education,
My clothes would decide the time, by which I should come home,
My posture would disrupt peace,
My skirt would be a catalyst,
My neighborhood auntie’s opinion would influence my mom,
My feminism would be nonsense for everyone,
My grin would be an extremely serious matter,
My best friend forever would be my soul mate for everyone,
And my life would still be considered happening and wonderful.
Now tell me,
Would you want to be a girl?
Man vs Tiger
Leysha Neema, Class IX C
The man destroys forests for his means,
But does not hear the tiger’s screams.
Man makes tigers endangered,
But doesn’t know in future even he is in danger.
Man kills tiger
With his trigger.
Man kills tiger for its skin
Doesn’t he know he is committing a sin?
Let tiger live its life
And ask man to keep away his knife.
A Poem from a Tiger
Aditya Mishra, Class IX C
In the brightest day,
In the darkest night,
No man should escape my sight,
Let those who take our lives,
Beware of our power, the tiger’s might.
In the darkest night,
No man should escape my sight,
Let those who take our lives,
Beware of our power, the tiger’s might.
Heroes Around Us – 4
Rishika Jain, Class VIII G
The real hero for me is my dad.
He is the person who never makes me sad,
He is always there for me when I’m depressed,
He helps me with my work when I’m stressed.
Without you I am nothing,
With you I can achieve anything.
You’re different, you’re not like the rest,
I love you dad, you are the best!
Shaan Chaddha, Class VIII G
The heroes around me are my teachers,
As they are very nice and helpful creatures.
They are there to help us any time,
As they think that helping is not a crime.
They teach us how to deal with the problems of life,
And teach us to speak after thinking twice.
Finally, they look after the students very well,
There are many qualities about them to tell.
Heroes Around Us – 3
Shivansh Raghuwanshi, Class VIII G
Our country needs heroes
Heroes who will not think once before sacrificing for our country.
They can be found anywhere.
A hero can be anyone,
A mother, a father or a teacher.
They are the ones because of whom,
No other country can beat us.
My hero doesn’t have any special powers,
My hero doesn’t have wings,
My hero doesn’t have special costumes,
My hero is different from any supercreature.
My heroes are ordinary human beings,
My heroes makes me smart,
My heroes change my future,
My heroes help me learn,
My heroes are my teachers!
Class VIII G
The people who can,
The people who will,
The people who work hard,
The people who never give up,
Are the real heroes around us.
The people who love their work,
The people who are inter-dependent,
The people who love their country,
The people who sacrifice themselves,
Are the real heroes around us.
Heroes Around Us – 2
Taha Aarsiwala, Class VIII G
Indian heroes, Indian heroes,
Who are those marvelous heroes?
Are these heroes around us,
Or standing or country’s borders?
I think everyone is an Indian hero.
From a sweeper to an engineer,
Form a student to a teacher,
From a gardener to a farmer.
They all make sacrifices,
Like our country’s freedom fighters,
Their hardwork, their attention,
Their liking for their jobs.
They make our Indian flag,
The flag of pride and brotherhood.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
Khushi Singhi, Class VIII G
Becoming a hero is my ambition,
I’d do my job with a lot of fun!
Yes, in my life there will be ups and downs,
But I’ll not let my forehead be covered in frowns.
Ahead of me I have a long life,
But to reach the aim, I’ll have to fight.
Becoming a hero may not be an easy task,
Bu it’s no harder than chewing the grass!
Heroes Around Us – 1
Aarushi Jain, Class VIII G
Hardworking heroes,
Who have an aim in their life.
The mother who works from day to night in her life,
The father who completes the duties and holds the family,
Are the heroes around us!
The hero who saves the lives of people,
The doctor, with dedication and hard work,
The teacher, who gives up everything and teaches the students
The farmer, who grows crops,
Are all heroes around us!
The hard working heroes!
Pakhi Dave, Class VIII G
My heroes, my safety guards,
May they be full of strength and patience,
My heroes, my parents.
They provide me with my needs,
And can do anything for my well-being.
My heroes, my Indian soldiers,
Who sacrifice their normal lives,
Who take dangers to save our life.
My heroes, my didis and bhaiyas,
Day or night, for our comfort they strive.
Thank you to all the heroes,
Let all of us be proud of them.
Freedom
Lakshya Somani, Class IX A
70 years ago, this event took place,
100 years of history had taken shape.
We live in debt of those days,
When people like us were very brave.
They stood firm without a hesitation in their mind,
And because of their sacrifice we celebrate this time.
Our nation is now at a peak,
But its past has been rather bleak.
We have enjoyed these decades with glory,
But will we be able to continue our story?
The problems were different way back then,
But now they call us from deep in the glen.
The glen of evil, which is devoid of light,
Asks to be illuminated by modern minds.
Let us step out and repeat history,
So that we can continue our story.
A story of pride and bravery till date,
As we wake up to the Independence Day.
A Promise to Dad
Aastha Singh, Class X C
Mom! Where is dad?
And why are you so sad?
You know, everyone is enjoying this night,
And you are still here with tears in your sight?
Mom! Why have you changed into white?
And waiting for someone, I can’t see anyone in this light.
You know, I wanted to go with my friends on a spree,
And you are still here sitting under this tree?
Mom! Why are these men piling woods?
And why this bed out of those goods?
I saw dad’s friends carrying someone on their shoulders.
That man looked like dad. Mom, don’t cry,
My intention was not to make you sad.
Son! That man is your dad.
And we should be proud instead of sad.
He fought to save our country
But failed to save himself and returned from infantry.
Dad! Your son will fulfill your dream.
And I promise, I will never let my people scream.
You are my idol and you make me proud.
I promise one day your son will also stand out of the crowd.
