Autobiography of a curtain - Rishona Chopra

 Hi! I am a curtain. The most beautiful one you've ever seen. Hey! Don't think I am boasting; I am actually adorable. I have zig-zag patterns on my skin, and most important of all, I am transparent. That doesn't mean I am a ghost. I mean, you can see through my skin.

At the back, I have a window behind me, through which I can see beautiful sights. But there are a few disadvantages too. Firstly, the window is facing towards my back! So I can't really see the pictures unless a brilliant person puts me the other way! That way, I can enjoy, but those people are pretty few. They are hard to find. So that was my life with problems and problems.

Friendship - Aarohi Bumtariya

Hmmm, what does friendship mean? Let me tell you what it does. Friendship means making close friends. For example, I have a friend named Amayra. She had been only in pre-nursery with me. I am in grade 3 now. Still, she is my friend. That is called true friendship.

I have lots of other friends too. There are trees, plants, birds and animals. All help us in one or the other way. We also help them. This tells us that in friendship, one must help the other.

That’s yet not done. I also have Aryama and Janya. They have helped me many times. Friendship does not only mean helping each other but also having fun. Janya, Aryama, Amayra and I went to a resort to stay together as well!!! Not only that but we went cycling together in Biodiversity Park too! It was fun.

May it be the sun, the moon, the clouds, nature or children. They are all my friends. I love and care for all of them.

‘Giving’ truly is a sense of gratitude and generosity. It is a life-changing act that can be experienced by everyone. Let us take the example of Doctor Sibal’s son, Devang’s maternal cousin.

Devaang’s cousin thought to do something bigger and better around Christmas. He saw two hungry children on the roadside and decided to feed them. Two children became four, four became eight, and soon eight became SIXTY- FOUR children. The original plan was to provide 200 children, and they ended up being more than 300 children. Watching a fourteen-year child doing something so generous is genuinely mesmerizing.

Being generous is not an arduous task to do. Our small contribution could make a big difference. We could give away our belongings that we are no longer using, but they are in good condition, such as toys, blankets, etc., to underprivileged people. This is the virtue to be learnt and practised by all.

Friendship - Arindita

Friendship is a bond between two people that can never fall apart if it is true. It is when you and another person feel comfortable and happy when you are together. 

A friend will never let you feel lonely. It is essential to have friends as they will give you company in your journey. You may often have friends that you do not talk to anymore or ones that you may have forgotten about. Sometimes when you or your friend are shifting to a new place or city, you both may feel upset to not be together anymore. But friendship doesn’t end here. Even if you two are not close or apart, a true friendship will still find a way to continue. 

If you have a true friend, they would never leave you or judge you by your colour, figure, money etc. They will always be by your side, no matter what. With a true friend, you wouldn’t need to find a reason to smile; you would already have it.

My elder sister is my Best Friend as I always feel free to talk to her tell her everything and all of my feelings that I don’t feel free to tell someone else. We laugh together at random things; we talk about what we think about others. We NEVER run out of topics. We also watch Peppa pig together. I always wish that we never fall apart. We also have fights, which is always common between friends.

Be what you want to be - Rishona Chopra

 Be what you want to be

Be what you want to be,

You are free, 

Like the leaves swaying on a tree,

You are free!

Like the birds flying across the sky,

You can fly that high.

You can stand up for yourself,

You can be as still as a book on a shelf!

Just be what you want to be,

You are free!

 Giving

In my opinion, Giving is one thing that almost everyone performs every day. Giving can be in many forms.

Giving can be done by giving someone time, hope, food, clothes, work and even respect. Can everyone give every day? Yes, it is possible. For, e.g. A teacher gives their time to students every day; even our parents give us a new value every day from being a child to an adult by teaching us how to talk, walk, eat, study, behave with others other small habits.

We, as children, go to school and share our Lunch boxes with friends that are also giving. I have read a beautiful quote about giving in Bhagwad Gita, which says A gift is pure when given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return. In simple words, if you are giving anything to anyone, give it by heart and do not expect anything in return. Giving is also beneficial for the person who is giving. This is a fact about which it is mentioned in Sam Veda that One who gives in charity always gets happiness and a sense of self-satisfaction.
