Care - Aanya Kumar

 We all show some kind of care. It can be care for nature, for friends and family, or even for our pets. We care for those with whom we have a special connection. There is one thing that needs care the most... but is not given the same by almost all of us. It's NATURE. 

We -knowingly or not- tend to pollute it and do not care for it. Although there are a few people who have a feeling for nature. They protect it by any means and way. I think that everything in this world is to be cared for. Moreover, that's our only responsibility. We should salute how nature takes care of US and take care of IT.

Autobiography of a Jacket - Rishona Chopra

 

I am a jacket. Surprisingly, I don’t remember where I was born and who gave birth to me!! I had a similar look to my friend “Coat”. I was not popular at first because Coat was used in almost every home! When my owner did my surgery, which was the most painful thing, I got a  zig-zag structure that I heard people call zip that closed my chest and opened it. At first, it pained when my zip was used, but I got used to it.

Soon, I became famous.

You must think that made me happy, but you are half right. I felt sorry for Coat as he was hardly ever used, and sometimes I saw him cry too. I gave him support and love. He was happy, but that didn’t last long. He set on a journey to find true happiness. Don’t you feel sorry for him?

Freedom - Gaurangi Rastogi

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?” -Mahatma Gandhi.

Freedom is a short word in English, but it has profound importance in our life. I hope you know about British Reign in India. We fought for two centuries for our country’s freedom. Some people were violent, and some were non-violent, and why shouldn’t we fight for freedom?

We were burdened with so many taxes that India came into poverty at that time; the crops were failing. There was bloodshed. None of us can forget what happened in 1919, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. We fought for our rights and stood with unity. But the real meaning of freedom is when we are captured, and we want to get free from that captured scenario and fight for it. 

When we have freedom with us, we don’t value it, but we realise its preciousness when we lose our independence. 

Let me tell you a story that occurred in my family.

Before the 21st century, that means us, my father and his brothers and sisters and my grandparents were there under the scare of my eldest grandfather, Mr Hari Krishan Rastogi. My father’s destiny was already set to be a businessman, but there was a dream to become a cricketer in his heart. Now, whenever my dad is free, he sits and gazes at his cricket kit, But, My father says, “ You can become whatever you aspire, for and you have my consent.” 

This story reminds me of how important freedom of choosing your occupation and speaking your voice is, isn’t it?
