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.

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 ...
