A Small Favour

You and I are different
Different than the world
New ideas, new perspectives
Creating a whole new world
So do yourself a favour
Scribble your thoughts on paper
A chance to know yourself better
Take it, make it, don’t waste it
You really inherit it
So do yourself a favour
You might become an influencer
Or the next Shakespeare

My Dad’s Water Bottle

Whenever I pass by my dad smiling,
He smiles back at me and says, “Look at that.”
‘Look at that’ brings up a lot of questions,
But without any positive suggestions.
Oh! Wow, it’s my dad’s water bottle.
This means I have to rush to the kitchen at full throttle.
After filling his bottle with water,
He gulps it all and asks, “Can I have more water?”
This is the story of my life.
I call my mother, whom he calls his wife,
I urge her to buy daddy a 10 litre bottle.
She replies with a laugh, “It seems, you are my role model!”

Starry Night

Starry Night
A never-ending black page
with tiny stars shining with rage.
A sphere with different shapes
which can’t escape.
A starry night with some bright light.
This is a dream of every child
Shooting stars roaming here and there,
and kids making wishes with prayers.
Counting the never-ending stars,
makes me think of some chocolate bars.
Thanks to God for the wonderful night,
but the thoughts in my mind make me write.

Books
English, French, Hindi, and Spanish
all types of books are there.
Every book is a pattern of thoughts,
Whenever I buy one more, I get caught.

Reading books feels like heaven but
putting them in order sounds like a
punishment.

Whenever a writer sets down a book,
everybody loves to read it even sitting in a nook.

Painting your thoughts into words is a great skill
if you try you may get wings.

Albert Einstein made me shine
An eternal remembrance of a man
whom we still call a genius gem.
The man who made the formula E=mc2.
Which made the scientists aware, energy is everywhere.
This is Albert Einstein
Who made people believe they might shine.
The man known for his knowledge
gave people inspiration to go to college.
The world-renowned man
never lets people keep down their pens.
This is Albert Einstein
who made people believe they might shine.

Integers
A minus sign that makes your
value less in line.
The sign that is opposite of his friends
and is never the dividend.
Zero is its best friend
and is always on the left end.
These are integers
And are totally different from others.
Minus and minus make a plus
but before solving you must discuss.
A batch of negative numbers
trying to get greater and
toddlers learning them from stickers.
These are integers
and are totally different from others.

Colours
Yellow, red, orange and green
all these colours are bright and clean.
Together they make a masterpiece.
It’s my pleasure to make it in peace.

In the morning sitting outside in front
of the giant sun, I jump onto the stool
with one paint brush in my left hand
and another in my right.

It’s my dream to see the nature’s beauty
as a painting with lots of creativity.
Picasso is my best friend and my paintings
Are my family.

My drawers are full of sketchbooks
but my heart is full of colours.
Every evening when I paint a masterpiece,
It gives everybody a smile of cheese.
Every day I get perfection by the grace of God, and I paint a painting
as beautiful as the book of God.

Doodles
One creature standing upon another.
One is the child and the second the mother.
Monsters trying to eat creatures
and hiders hiding from seekers.
These are known as doodles and
are as good looking as noodles.
These black and white creatures are
Sometimes quite colourful and are very loveable.
Lines going from left to right,
are sometimes very light.
Some are naughty,
Some are nice,
Some are giant
some are puny.
These are known as doodles and
are as good looking as noodles.

Imperfection

Is it me or does everyone think that they are perfect?
Is my hair intact and my shoes in place,
My dress pressed and jeans looking great?
If yes then this is great and if not then I am not confident
But no one is perfect and that is how we are made
And so god has made a rule
Every animal has to be the prey one day
Every human will have problems to face and
That is a sign that we are imperfect.

How The Lock-down Made Me Unleash My Creative Side

A Trip to Twin Earth

My vacation had just started. I wanted to go for an outing. It had been almost two years since I had gone on a trip. I asked my father to plan a trip. After a few days, my father decided to go to Goa for a tour. I agreed at once.
We packed our bags and the next day we set out for the trip. When we reached Goa, we decided to live at our uncle’s place. He had a big mansion. It was lovely. The interior of the house was pleasing. Beautiful pictures hung on the walls of the house. Many attractive art pieces were used to decorate the house. There were several rooms in it.
While exploring the house, I saw a small dusty room. It seemed as if no one had visited that room in a long time. There was a closet in that room. I opened the closet and saw a weird thing. It was a small machine with several buttons.
Accidentally, I pressed a button and to my surprise, I realized that I had landed on another planet. It was similar to Earth. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The natives of that planet were similar to that of Earth. It had water. It had life!! But the twin earth was not developed. There was no technology. People lived in villages. I was worried and excited.
I started walking on the surface of the twin earth. After some distance a few natives of the planet came near me and said “caraboujon”. “What is caraboujon!!” I exclaimed. I couldn’t understand their language and had a blank look on my face.
One of those men knew English. He had once visited our Earth where he had learnt English. The man said “My name is Geronimo. Hundreds of years ago, there was a ship named Caraboujon. It was one of the best ships of those times. Every sailor wanted this ship. Many pirates attacked Caraboujon to capture it.”
“But why did every sailor want Caraboujon? What was so special about that ship? I enquired. Geronimo continued, “The Caraboujon has a hidden treasure in it. The captain of the ship wanted the treasure to be found by someone who is honest, kind, pure hearted, innocent, intelligent and someone who would use the treasure in the right manner but till now no one has found that ship or the treasure.”
I said “I will help you to find the hidden treasure. It would be exciting.”
The next day a throng of people along with Geronimo and I set out to find the hidden treasure. While walking Geronimo found something hard under his feet. He dug a bit and found a small box. He opened the box. It had a piece of paper on which was written “You are very close to the most precious thing in the world.” I understood that the treasure was somewhere very close to us. A group of men started digging. After digging for some time I found a rock with an inscription. I read it out loud, “6 km deep and you are the richest. 1 km wide and 10 tons”.
I understood the meaning of the note. I said “After digging for 6 km we will find the Caraboujon and the hidden treasure, the ship is grand. It is 1 km wide and weighs 10 tons.” All the men got excited and resumed digging. After digging for a week, they found the grand and majestic Caraboujon. In the storehouse of Caraboujon was the hidden treasure. There were tanks filled with gold and silver jewelry, loads of diamonds and precious stones and many more. Everyone had sparkling eyes. All the people were on cloud nine. Geronimo thanked me for helping him to find the treasure. He also gave me some jewels and precious stones. Now it was time for me to return home. I had a very good time with the natives of twin Earth. I pressed the button of the machine again and returned home.
