Spooky and Majestic Birds

Hello,

Here’s another bit of my nature watching stuff.

And then came the day, when I met wise ol’ Mr. Owl in my cycle shed. He sat there sternly like a teacher with his disobedient students. He seemed to be sleepy all the time for he never opened his eyes wide or round. Mr. Owl was tall and bright with his eyes peering out to see the lighted world. He was in my shed from morning to evening and of course the shed was stinking when he flew away.

Bird watching

Hello readers

Here is the next bit of my previous post…

In our compound there are three big mango trees, many coconut trees and other different plants. Our neighboring compounds too are full of plants and trees. As a result, many varieties of birds come all around us. I have seen pigeons, sparrows, cuckoos, mynahs, white cranes, humming birds, kingfisher and other unknown (to me) kinds of birds. Even migratory birds come here.

Nature watching

Hello friends,
Here is something I do on boring evenings. Something to pep it up.

As I’ve told you before, I have always loved nature watching. We have a tiny lawn where I run about to catch tiny dragon flies and butterflies. Even though I have caught two or three of these I’ve got to admit that it is very hard catching them. They are very swift and never sit still when I get close to them. Once I caught a grass hopper – a tiny green soft little thing. It tickled my palm by jumping all over trying to get out of my fist. I held my fist very loose as I didn’t want to hurt it.

Ah! At last…

My exams are over today, and school has closed for fifteen days. It reopens on second April and I would be in sixth standard.

As I have told you earlier, after reading Ruskin Bond’s Children’s Omnibus, I joined Rusty in “Rusty’s Adventures” (another book by Ruskin Bond). Then I made friends with ‘Swami and friends’ in “Malgudi Schooldays” (R. K. Narayan). Poor Swami, always getting beaten by the teacher.

Yesterday, I started on the “Mystery of the Disappearing Cat” and today, I finished it. It was really an exciting book and I was surprised to find who the “Cat Thief” really was. Today, I am reading “The mystery of the Secret Room”, also by Enid Blyton. And I am very curious to know more about the secret of the room. As I am busy reading, I don’t have much time for writing. I can hardly keep all these exciting books down.

Bye for a few days (just 2 or 3),

Queen Mary 2

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

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.

Snakes in my House

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.

Boring work experience…

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.
