Words and ActionsMishi Jain, Class IX E

By saying different things

People try to prove themselves to be the kings

Words once said are said

And by them our way is led

Those words cannot be called back

For them to retreat there isn’t any hack.

Some words touch our heart

Some make us feel like times are hard

Before speaking, thinking twice

Makes us wise

To make a person we’ve hurt feel better

We need to write an apology letter.

Shoes

Shoes we wear

So that our feet are not bare

Laces or Velcro they bear

This is how for our feet they care

Their partners are socks

Which have elastic and not locks.

They hide our dirty feet

And dance with us on the beat

They save our feet from the heat

From the shoe, the guests they greet.

With regret I want to conclude

These friends are not possessed by our poor dudes.

My Brother

Oh my dear you are so shy

But the most adorable guy

When you shout and cry

On your head you hold the sky

You cry crocodile tears

When the TV screen clears.

You flog a dead horse

When mamma scolds you

Then you get a feeling of remorse

But that lasts only for minutes few.

You have a habit of letting the cat out of the bag

In front of mamma, papa and others

You can’t bear to see me blue

And for everything you do I love you!

Human life is a journey that can be compared to a day from dusk to dawn. Elaborate with reference to ‘The Seven Ages’ by William Shakespeare.

Harsh Khurana, Class IX F

When the sun gives out its sunrays at dawn, it tells us that we have come in this world for a reason, with a motive. Just after dawn, all the birds come out of their nests and fly in the sky: carefree and enjoying themselves just like a small child when he plays with his friends in the neighbourhood. After some time, when the sun completely arises and is at its peak, when the birds go in search for food for them and their young ones just like a grownup who has various responsibilities for him and his beloved ones.

When the sun is going to set, all the birds come back to their nests, exhausted and satisfied with whatever they could get just like an old man who has hustled hard in life and has earned respect and various achievements in life. He is although tired, yet satisfied and now it’s his time to rest and enjoy until the night prevails and his death arrives.

Harveer Chawla, Class IX F

The poet says that all the world is a stage where man shows his beautiful journey of life. Just as the day has various stages, man has seven ages in his life. He is born with the dawn, early rays of sunlight, highlighting him into the world. Then comes the morning, when he is an infant, holding a large finger with his little ones. Learning to speak and stand, walk and fall, enter into deep thinking, sharp rays of noon showing his agitation and power. The rays also highlight a new height and hair and he becomes an adult in the evening, calm and steady. The day entering into dusk, making him an old man, all mature and experienced and the purpose of his being on ground fulfilled. With night coming, darkness prevails over man and he sleeps to wake up to another world.

Yashoneel Shukla, Class IX F

The journey of a man commences with the Golden Era of a person’s life which is his childhood just like a day which begins with an early fresh morning. As the journey continues, the person reaches the stage of his youth where he is at the peak of his youth and becomes arrogant and sometimes insensible, just like the scorching sun at noon. Between noon and the evening, the sun creates a warm and soft environment and comes to peace. The person at this stage reaches his adulthood and at the time of dusk, his old age takes over the reins of his life and the Golden age of the person returns along with the old age. At the end of the day, darkness starts to prevail, which is similar to death.
