Queen Mary 2

9 03 2007

Queen of the seas – Queen Mary 2 met another queen – Kochi, the Queen of the Arabian sea on 7th March. She was here at Kochi for about 26 hours. She’s the largest passenger ship in the world and is on a trip round the world.

On 7th March at about 8 pm we went to the Kochi Wharf to see Her Majesty. On seeing her I felt the thrill coming up my spine as she was gigantic, much bigger than I had expected. She is as high as a 23 storied building and 345 metres long. She was so close to the Kochi Wharf that it seemed as if she was a huge building and not a ship. Her front and rear ends were blocked from our view by trees which made her look more stately. As it was night, she was lightened up and looked very beautiful. Some of her passengers waved at us.

Another Snake Incident

8 03 2007

Hello,

As I said yesterday, that slithery incident reminded me of an earlier visit of a snake to my house. But why do these snakes crawl into my house only? Oh! Those meanies!

It was a few years back when I was small – maybe four or five years old. I was having my evening snacks sitting on the middle of the living room floor watching television. My brother was on the sofa. My mother went to the terrace to water the potted plants; and I followed her like Mary’s little lamb leaving behind my food.

It was then that this ferocious snake entered our house as fast as it could; and my brother who was sitting there glued to the television suddenly took notice of this snake which was showing of its big and bright head. My brother seeing it ran out faster than the snake when it had come in. Read the rest of this entry »





Snakes in my House

7 03 2007

Hello readers,
Hope you enjoyed reading my Piggu story Hmm… Do you want to hear about an ‘It happened to me’? Then all you got to do is… read on!

 

Snakes in my House

Snakes seem frightful to some of us and nothing to others like Steve Irwin… because they just roam around with a snake on their shoulders! Here is something slithery that happened to lil’ ol’ me.

A few days back after lunch I was watching T.V. when one of our neighbors knocked on our gate warning us that a snake had entered our compound. Hearing this, I was shocked as I am very scared of snakes, no matter how harmless they are. Read the rest of this entry »





Boring work experience…

6 03 2007

Hiya,

I’m back! In our school, we have many kinds of activity other than studies – Dancing, drawing, singing, and and my favorite Work Experience(WKE). For WKE, we need to join a club. It can be an Art club, a Home Science club, Music club, Dance club, Games club, or Nature club.

I like to draw, but I feel that my drawing are not good, even though my mother says they are nice. In home science, they teach cooking(making sandwiches only) and making bracelets and such things. As I am already my mother’s little helper in the kitchen, I didn’t join this club.

Just songs, songs and songs… I don’t like music club because, I hate my voice! I hate dancing because my hands and legs don’t work together. I am a slow runner and in game, all we have to do is run and bounce basket balls, kick foot balls, or smash shuttle corks. Read the rest of this entry »





A Piggy Story!

5 03 2007

Cartoon piglets are very cute to see. Don’t you agree with me? The following is an adventurous story of a little piglet named piggu. I hope you enjoy reading my little story.

 

The Case of the Lost Piglet

Mama Piggy, Papa Pig and Baby Piggu lived happily in a tiny little house near a forest. Baby Piggu was five years old and wanted to camp out in the dark with his friends. But his parents were not allowing him as they thought he needed to grow a little more. Baby Piggu was very sad. This was his first opportunity to prove to his friends that he was not a baby any more.

That night he sat near the fireplace staring at the red hot fire. He was thinking, “Is there any way to join my friends?” Then suddenly his brain lit up. He said, “Yes! There is a way! I will pack up my stuff and leave when my papa and mama are not around.”

Next morning when Papa and Mama went to wake up Baby Piggu they were shocked to see only a pillow under the blanket. They searched around for Baby Piggu but found only a note on which Baby Piggu had written- “I go camp!” Read the rest of this entry »





Autobiography of my Teddy!

4 03 2007

So friends,

I am here again. As, I was telling you yesterday, our English teacher gave us some topics for creative writing. It was to write an autobiography of either a Teddy Bear or a Football. All the boys, obviously, selected football. And we girls wrote about Teddy Bears. It was really easy for me, as I not only had a teddy bear, but also used to play with it as if it was alive and talking. But later on, I expanded the article and you can read it now. So here it is..

Autobiography of a Teddy Bear

I’m a native of China. A kind Man there had collected lots of fiber and bear skin. He had lovingly stitched it in shape of a bear and stuffed it with fiber. Thus, I was born. He also fixed a big smile on my face and it got stuck there. In short, he created me – a handsome fellow with an evil glint in his eyes. Read the rest of this entry »





How I started writing…

3 03 2007

Hi Readers,

I don’t exactly remember when I started writing. But according to my mother, when I was just one and a half years old, I narrated my first story!

It was about two friends, a baby ant and a flower. Both of them had come inside our house, and the Ant ate some rice. My mother scolded it and the poor ant started crying. The story continued with the mama ant taking the baby ant in her arms and consoling it. I am not telling you any more, because that’s the end.

Later on, when I was four and a half years old, I wrote a story about a hen and her 9 chicks. Now, I feel that it was a silly story! When I was five, while traveling in my car in the evening, I saw the rising moon and started reciting my own poem about it. It was like this:

Hey! We meet again…

2 03 2007

Want a sample of my poems? Well, here you go!

 

Farm boy’s dream

 

I remember the good ol’ days

When I used to have such fun

With frogs n’ beetles n’ humming birds

And a flamingo’s young one

 

I used to run all round the farm

Followed by some chicks

And sometimes I was the shepherd boy

Leading sheep with a stick

 

Following many hounds was fun Read the rest of this entry »
