 A new year, a new beginning Is what many people say, They go to each other’s houses grinning, With a red rose bouquet. They have a good dinner together, And then say their goodbyes. I believe the cold weather Is not what I would advise. Resolutions come with the year, Which many people make, But those are what I fear, They keep me for nights awake. I think this year is same as last, I see nothing that is new, I am doing the things like I did in the past, Oh! I don’t want this year to redo.

 I had always wanted a dog but could never get one because handling a dog is a difficult job and requires a lot of responsibility. So my parents decided to get me one on my 12th birthday. When I learned about that, I was on cloud nine. The first thing I did was to play with him, and he started wagging his tail, which gave an indication that he was happy. The day I got the puppy, it felt like we had a special bond. I took him for a walk every morning. As soon as I came back home after school, I played with him for hours, but it only felt like a few minutes. One day, as usual, I came back from school and went to play with him in the backyard. I saw him go somewhere, so I started to follow him. He was going somewhere that even I did not know of. We went through narrow pathways into a deep forest. I wondered, "Why would he go inside a forest?" But still, I followed him. To my surprise, I saw a beautiful world inside a dangerous-looking forest. It was still beyond my understandi...

 

  Trying narrative poetry for the first time  In the garden, I was sitting lonely, Around me was nothing but my friend only, Poor us, we had nothing to do, Sitting for a long time with no clue. Suddenly an idea popped up in my mind So I asked my friend who inclined Going to the forest was what we thought, So our necessities are what we brought. The entrance to the forest was a beautiful glance. We saw the peacock beautifully dance. The beauty is what mesmerized us a lot, So we moved ahead with a jog trot. The mighty forest had a lot to explore. Moving ahead we heard a loud roar. Scared, we decided to return back With the fear of an attack.

Online to offline was a huge transition in every student’s life. The online journey began unexpectedly in the month of March in 2020 and was new for all. At first, students were stressed as they were trapped and were finding it hard to adjust to the new normal. There was no interaction at all. Both the modes are similar to the poles. In offline mode, students have the privilege of getting in touch with teachers and friends, but this is not possible in online mode.  The online mode lasted for almost two years, and most students became accustomed to it. As soon as it was declared by the government that offline mode is compulsory, students found it problematic to re-join school once again. Most parents were happy with this decision. The children had no choice and had to go to school. However, going on the first day changed everything and it felt like it was just like old times.

One fine day, two very bored friends had nothing to do, so they decided to go for a stroll. As they were walking, they heard a feeble voice calling for help. They went to explore the source of the unknown voice. They looked in every nook and cranny of the town, but failed to discover it. So, they decided to go their friend’s house as they were very exhausted. They felt embarrassed and guilty that they could not find or comfort the mysterious person. They decided to go for an investigation the next day. They went to the exact location where they heard the sound and started looking for clues. They looked really hard and located small footprints and followed them. The trail of footprints leads them into a dark and dense forest. The frightened friends thought to give up and end their exploration, but many questions popped into their heads, so as to get the answers, they gathered strength and proceeded the search. They heard various bizarre and eerie sounds. On their journey,...

Yum, Yum, Yum!   Soo many delectable treats to try! Shall I try burgers or pastas or cakes? I am so confused!? Hmmm….. Are these mouth-watering treats I eat healthy or are they nutrition less food items? They are very unhealthy for me you know, but still my mouth waters whenever I think of having them. I never understand what to do, shall I eat them or shall I not. I usually without thinking just eat them. I think I shall gobble them all. No, no, no!
