Christmas in 2020 : A Christmas Special Poem by Debadittya Mitra

With the onset of winter

Christmas comes on 25^th December.

This is the time of celebration

At the end of the ongoing year session.

Christmas marks the birth of our Jesus

Son of Lord who came as a savior to us.

It isn’t merely a festival of Christians

But a joyous time for all religions.

Children wait eagerly for Santa Claus

To put priceless gifts in their socks.

Being good especially th’ previous day

They wake up to see gifts showered their way.

This time I wish Santa comes

And frees the world from th’ chain of germs.

The only gift we’re praying for this year

Is a world free from every fear.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way

Let Santa come riding along

Destroying all th’ germs in his way.

Hymns be sung from home

To the glory of our Lord

No mass gatherings allow’d

But may all our prayers be heard.

Christmas this year is on virtual platform

Where the faces look like iconised glowworm.

Neither hugs, nor lovin’ touches to share

Maintaining distance for we care.

Streets this time glimmer with light

Beautiful Christmas trees seize our sight.

This festival to me is the best

Where rich ’nd poor alike enjoy the fest.

No light this time is enough bright

All exhausted in the Covid fight.

Faces in masks look spent

Making Christmas 2020 look so different.

All celebration this time is virtual

Save our feelings nothing’s real.

Nonetheless we’re all together

To prevent the Corona virus from spreading farther.

We bake cakes and cookies

Share them with friends and relatives.

This year I’ll bake cookies, cakes for sure

To distribute it among the poor.

We pray with bended knees, folded hands

To take away every ill from our lands.

May our Lord Jesus dear

Empower us to conquer every fear.

Accelerating Change to solve the water and Sanitation Crisis with Ancient Indian Technique - A write-up by Funlishian Tuhin Kanti Ghosh

It is a well known that our Earth, despite having ¾ of its surface covered by water doesn’t have enough water for humans. The reason, also known, is that 97 percent of it is saline water which is unusable. Of the 3 percent we do have, the expanding human population wasted and polluted much of it continuously to make way for water and sanitation crisis. In the recent years we have realized this and started to work to change it. But the change is not being able to keep up with the constant damage. Hence comes the need to accelerate it. While large projects like building dams help in accelerating change, small changes collectively make a much bigger impact. For example, fixing a leaking tap wasting 500 ml of water a day may not seem much but if all millions of citizens fix their taps, then in just a day millions of litres of water and rupees will be saved. There are numerous ways in the internet for saving water that you can do. Another way to accelerate change c...

Wonders of Water - A poem by Ishaan Biswas, Grade IX, Funlish Language School

To the transparent water; O’ you nature’s daughter, How are you so calm, so cold? How do you grab the world ahold? Why are you so kind, to show the way to the blind? How are you so noble? Why do you even care for the smallest cobble? O’ the guardian of life, You are why we are alive. Why do you still love us, when we create a fuss? Thus you are our precious mother, you forgive us albeit we inflict disasters one after another. Thus is our oath to your kindness, we shall always be righteous. Hence we shall conserve every loch, for our succeeding flock.

This isn't a Feminist Mark : A poem by Anushka Jana

However much we think, Or hate the colour pink, Can we be fearless like you? Or be as daring as you? Do you think we’ve purpose, Like delicate flowers, a simple rose? To exhibit when it’s fresh, And throw when reduced to flesh? Will it be a sin to do? Things that most of you do, Blaming, shaming and curbing us, We wonder how many of us you did curse! And why would you do so? Because we let our ambitions grow? Because we step out of veils And look fabulous in our esteem, Or because we love ourselves And try to look out of kitchen shelves? We dream to invent remedies, To sign important treaties, Pen down novels without pen names And excel in various games. Driving cars and repairing lights And guarding streets on dark nights And to speak, to debate, We want to do things and not wait. And we didn’t sink our hearts, Neither focus only on sewing skirts, Nor on only cooking for your bunch of kids, But we tried to help ...
