Christmas : An essay by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India


So finally Christmas is here. This has been a long and struggling year for all of us. But I would like to keep that corona stuff aside for now. That talk has been monotonous for all of us. Celebrations are low-key this time, but the adrenaline rush for presents is not any less. I wish for two new books for the winter vacation. I have started an early preparation of vanilla and chocolate cookies and am done with the usual decoration of a Christmas tree with lights. Dan Brown books with Robert Langdon mystery and amazing facts about secret societies are all I need for a break from life’s dullness.

 

So I believe in Christmas magic - actually all sorts of magic and trust me it’s one of those things that spark our thoughts for the urge to know and explore more. Some people think that after a certain age, we become more realistic and less imaginative, but what’s life without a few crazy thoughts and miracles huh?

 

I see great scientific discoveries and inventions like that spark of imagination and magic that the great scientists never let go off. Imagination is something I would say leads on to the creation of new. And belief in magic is like that fire which one can use to make things come true. This message was for all those who don’t believe in certain mysteries of the world. Remember that one-day flying was unbelievable but the Wright brothers made it come true because they never let go of the belief in imagination and magic. If you believe, then it will come true. Merry Christmas to all! Let the magic in the air flow and ignite us all.

 

In the surreal winter chill,

Getting warmed up by the fire,

Excited eyes glued to window,

Wait for the moon to rise,

And long to see the Santa ride,

In the magical Christmas skies.

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 you pay h

SDG Story Writing Contest (1st Prize Winner) : Who is the Best---The 17 SDGs by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible. Let us read what some of them have to say to us through their stories on SDGs, ponder on what they are trying to say, act accordingly and try and change our ways of life. Perhaps this is the only way we can ensure that human civilization is not wiped out of the face of this Earth.
