Today's Thoughts..

Publisher-

15 June 2020, Monday…

The rains have reached their peak today. It has been raining throughout the day and is still raining.

When, before the pandemic, it used to rain after the school used to be over, it was more fun than ever. We used to get wet and protect our precious school bags. There was no fear at all, and no social distancing.

Social distancing is practically impossible in my school-transport case. We had a van, a small one. We were around 12 people in the same van, adjusting with difficulty. It was almost ‘minus social distancing’J.

It used to be too humid and hot in the van during summers. When it rained, we all used to be wet and stuck to each other on top of it. But still, it was fun when all of us, with no differences in age and grades, used to play ‘dumb sheraz’ and ‘Japanese whisper’.

When our teachers were teaching, all students used to suddenly look out of the window when:

--It used to start raining heavily.

--Some teacher from another class would shout at the top of her voice.

--The Nagpur Metro would pass from the the “Jhansi rani chowk” in front of our school.

--etc.

..and our teacher used to get annoyed.

  The lunch break is another story. We would mix-n-match each others’ lunch and food, and then eat with full delight. When leaving from school we used to sit in the van and open the complementary lunch boxes(containing our favorite snacks) , and, again, eat with more delight. Well, at least for me, food is an all-time-delight .

I miss school, friends, teaching, pranks, competitions and fun.

But the most important thing right now seems to be taking care of our physical and mental health, our famiy, and take precautions against the rapidly-spreading corona virus disease.

With over 3 lakh active CoViD19 cases, India is surely in a difficult situation. Along with the same, the number of recovered people has reached 1 lakh+ and the rate of recovery is approx. 50%, which is good news.

Take precautions, stay hygienic, stay immune, stay healthy, stay HOME, stay SAFE.

Joy in Small Things

Publisher-
Image
                     Once when I was small I sat down and began to draw. I drew a little hut And decorated it with straw. The straw kept falling off, There wasn't enough glue. But I finished the whole glue for it, I honestly tell you. Then I drew two little windows And a tiny brown door. A big flat mud wall And a huge muddy floor. Then I took some cotton And made clouds from it. I then drew a sun And could no longer sit. I got up and went to my family And displayed the drawing I made. All of them appreciated it "Very good!" was what they said. These were the joyful moments As a child that I had. A child who never knew What was it to be sad. Joy in small things  Is what I learn from that day, I also learn to see the things  In a much positive way. ...Shravani Kelapure

Silent Teachers

''SILENT TEACHERS'' Notice the things around you and me, Watch the Ants walk in lines. Carrying food, WORKING HARD , Making hay while the sun shines. Notice the things around you and me, Its SILENCE that a Flower preaches. Silence speaks a lot, oh you, Every heart and soul it reaches. Notice the things around you and me, Watch a Kite flying around. It needs EFFORT to touch the sky,oh you, But nothing to come back down. Notice the things around you and me, Watch a Tree standing in the heat. We learn to be SELFLESS and KIND ,oh you, It gives us shade and fruits to eat. Notice the things around you and me, Watch a Little Bird come by. It does not come to talk,oh you, But to build a nest more HIGH . Notice the things around you and me, Watch how the Rainbow looks. It teaches JOINT EFFORT *,oh you, Something much more than books.                                           ...

She is...

Publisher-

       “ She is….”(A Tribute to Women)    She is a sister, she is a mother, She is a wife , a friend like no other. She is the princess of her favourite fairytale, She constantly works hard, never to fail. She is a Goddess ,a sacred feminine, Her presence anywhere for sure is divine. The Goddess of knowledge, the Goddess of money, She protects us, she creates harmony. If she comes ,joy comes too. She can do things that none can do. Represented by many, like a graceful cow, Who is still worshipped, tradition persists somehow. The role she plays is special and unique. She speaks of wisdom, let her speak. Today she lives with vigor and pride. She rises high like a new-born tide. She is a wonderful thing for she can do wonders. Nothing in front of her are those storms and thunders. For ‘she’ is a WOMAN , the symbol of beauty, Sincere and responsible in doing every duty….     ...

High Expectations

Publisher-

" High Expectations "  This is the story (as a poem) of those who, in the search for excellence, set unrealistically high expectations for themselves and then feel crushed under their pressure, often forgetting their previous achievements and failing to appreciate themselves for those instead of looking down upon themselves. I know there is a section of people out there who will resonate with this.... It is never enough, Will it ever be? Is it the same with all of you, Or is it just me? 'Wonderful manners, Good at studies, The best of marks, The best of buddies' Were the things expected, Were the things I did, Right from the start As a school going kid. Too many things To tackle as a teen. Expectations being Very clearly seen. 'Wonderful manners, Good at studies, The best of marks, And no-distraction-buddies' Having followed this At school throughout, Career plan was something Quite new to think about. Expectations from toppers Are always sky high. 'A care...

Sphygmomanometer

              "SPHYGMOMANOMETER" Once I read a word, It said sphygmomanometer. Is it something related, I thought, To meter or centimeter? Is it related to breadth, Or is it an instrument? Is it related to length, Or is used for measurement? I took out my dictionary And took a look. Thousands of words I saw In the little pocket-sized book. Without a second thought I checked  The words starting with 'S' Before the meanings in my mind Made a total mess! It 'is' some instrument, I was right about that part. But to understand the rest of the meaning, I was not too smart. I closed the dictionary And asked my mother. She said its used to measure A patient's blood pressure. "Wow,",I  thought,"such a long word. It made me think so much". But before I thought of something else My mother called me for lunch. "Bye bye", I said  To sphygmomanometer. "After ...
