My dream invention

 My Dream Invention


Whoosh! I was flying in a car over the city. It was midnight and the Moon and the stars shone brilliantly and there was a light breeze in the air. I was enjoying the panoramic view of the city below. I could easily see the humongous skyscrapers touching the clouds. I even spotted people as tiny as dolls strolling the brightly lit streets. Ah, it was a wonderful moment. 
Instantaneously, I jerked awake. "It was a dream!” I gasped. I sat up sweating due to the heat. I decided to go back to sleep when a thought struck my mind. 
"A flying car!” I wondered. Can a dream become a reality? A flying car could just be superb. I thought that a fling car could be ten times better than an aeroplane. We could enjoy the view and the light breeze if we traveled in such a car. Oh, there was a lot of benefits. But could it be possible? Maybe, _I_ could invent the very first flying automobile! If I did humanity would be forever thankful to me. If I could invent such a car, then I needn’t bother about the traffic. Everybody gets late because of this traffic. I absolutely loathe them. But if I had a flying car, I don’t need to worry about being late for anything! I would be able to fly over all the commotion, smiling at the faces of the unfortunate and rather furious motorists. It was just like Aladdin on his magic carpet flying over the deserts of Arabia. I got carried away by my innovative but rather impossible-to-achieve ideas. I thought again (I did a lot of thinking), could I do it? Could I become the chosen one, the one destined to build the first ever flying car? I imagined that I had fulfilled my dream. People were giving me words of praise and showed their gratitude. It would be cheaper and more comfortable. I dreamt that I recorded the Nobel prize. Everyone was congratulating me…the greatest invention of all time…Trrringg… my alarm brought me back to reality… and traffic. I got to from my bed. I was more determined than ever to be the first person to design the flying car. Perhaps, if you’re lucky, you might get a chance to soar through the air with the filling car!!

#My Dream

                                 My Dream 


 

 

I wish to fly high like birds

Slither away on the blue carpet.

I can't express it in words

I will sit in my rocket,

Off to explore space.

Wish to walk an extra mile for mankind

Can I expect snowflakes?

Who can understand my mind?

Outer space is as wild as daffodils I guess

Or is it as cool as cucumber?

Who will pacify my inquisitive mind?

Many questions hovering around me,

I wish to ponder over and find answers to all questions that haunt me

I long for my space adventure which will come true at last,

I will surely blast........

My  expedition to Heaven on Earth #travelogue

 My  expedition to Heaven on Earth

Kashmir is called the heaven on earth and I agree with this statement. My trip to the Land of Greenery will never fade away from my memory. Just thinking of the beautiful butterflies fluttering in the air, the cool breeze flowing in the sky, the calm and silent atmosphere and the scenic view makes me wish I was back in Kashmir. I can still vividly remember those unforgettable times in Kashmir still after 8 years of visiting it.

I was a small child of four when one day my father said to me,"We are going to visit Kashmir.” I said to him," Who is that?" My father laughed at me and said,"Kashmir is a place not a person. You will understand when we get there.” 

My first glimpse of this Land Of Scenery was on the plane. Looking out of the window, I could see the grassy plains and heaps of snow. Mountains were everywhere and it was altogether a beautiful scenic view. 

My first day in Kashmir was fascinating. The scenic view of The Dal Lake, The calm and peaceful atmosphere and the sound of boats gliding through the water amazed me and made me think was in a time totally different world. Our stay in the houseboat was excellent. Next morning, I woke up early and witnessed a heavenly sight. The sun was rising in the east, partly covered by clouds, its light illuminating the sky. In the distance, I saw several mountains and greenery. 

Our next stop was at Gulmarg. It was literally "covered” with snow. We trudged through the snow to reach our hotel. 

This was where I first learned to ski. It was brilliant, the wind blowing on my face, the scenery on top of the mountain… no words to express. Our guide told me I had the makings of a remarkable skier and it made me swell with pride.

Thus was also the first time I rode on horseback. My first horse ride still remains in my memory. I sat in front of my father and the clicking of the horse’s hooves on the ground was a lovely sound to me. 

Suddenly the horse turned direction and I nearly fell of the horse. "Help!” I screamed. "The Horse is running away help! “

Horse went towards the stream and began to drink water. "Horse is just drinking water no need to be afraid,” the guide said kindly to me. 

I was sorry to leave Kashmir. The scenery, the famous places and the atmosphere were all brilliant. I wished I could have lived in Kashmir. Even though it was years ago, these memories still remain in my mind. It is said that some good memories will never be forgotten no matter how long ago it happened and I think my Kashmir trip is one of them.

World Without Trees

 World Without Trees 

Have you ever imagined a world without trees? This is a serious question to ponder. I have made a humble attempt to present my views through a story. These are the thoughts hovering around me when I saw my near and dear ones cut trees when they were planning to renovate their house. Are the trees an obstacle that will ruin the beauty of their house? 


 


"What a wonderful day today was!” I thought while getting into bed. I and my family visited a zoo. I hated jungles and forests, but still liked animals, so my family took me to a zoo. It was full of lush greenery and animals. 

I kept thinking about it before going to sleep. But the spell of sleep reached me soon and I was asleep dreaming about the kingdom of animals. 

I woke up quite early the next morning. I usually slept longer, but today it was different. I felt an air of gloom around me. I did not feel the usual fresh morning breeze. It wasn’t a pulchritudinous morning. I thought that something was erroneous. I looked out the window towards a forest that was nearby our village. But not a single tree was present! 

I was dumbfounded. Instantaneously, I ran towards the door, flung it open, and gazed at the spot where the forest was. But all I saw was barren land. No forest. No trees. I rubbed my eyes and looked again and again at the same spot but nothing changed. It was the same view. I ran towards the forest at full speed. 

By this time, some villagers had already gathered at the spot. One villager whispered to another, "Have the gods cursed us? Without water, we won’t be able to survive!”

"We should report this to the police right now!” said another. "What will we get from the police?” Someone from the crowd retorted. "We will only have the reporters and media here. We won’t get our trees back!!” 

Soon, just as expected, news spread all over the world, and wishing a few hours, the reporters and media were present. The police arrived before them. They asked a lot of questions to some of the villagers. 

Soon, it was late into the afternoon. I was feeling hot, sick, and exhausted, and began to suffocate. All the villagers felt the same. "It is the lack of trees,” one villager suggested. It felt as if there was no water at all. My throat was parched. I was feeling hungry as well. 

By the time I had a good meal, I heard many of our villagers leaving the village. 

Nothing unusual happened in the evening except that I felt suffocated. At night I switched on the TV. Then I heard terrible news!! The World…without trees!! I couldn’t believe it, but I had to. It was all over. The world was finished. It wouldn’t survive long. I closed my eyes, imagining the disaster the world would be going through. Suddenly I woke up from my uncommon dream. I frantically looked around. "It was a dream!” I realized it within a fraction of a second.

I thanked God that it wasn’t a real-life incident. But yes, I knew, understood, and realized the importance of trees. I guessed it was a message sent by the gods to remind us of the significance of trees and to show us the impact they would have on our lives if they disappeared from Earth.

INCREDIBLE INDIA

                                                                INCREDIBLE INDIA

Patriotism is a sweet feeling. I really miss my country. I would like to express my love, feelings, concern, and attachment to my beloved country through this poem.


India my country my pride,

I can enjoy your beauty from all side

The gigantic snow-capped Himalayas

The mesmerizing ever-green forests

The cool breeze, the crystal-clear rivers

The fragrance of vivid flowers

 Well-known  majestic monuments

Make my country unique.

We all dwell in happiness,

There is no room for sadness.

 

India my country my pride,

Still looks like a bride

Unity is our strength

A courageous army is our wealth

Agriculture is our health

My country taught me moral values in depth

The warm hug of my country gives me inner strength

My prayers are there with you!!

Though I am miles away from my country, my love for you is everlasting,

My relationship with you is long-lasting.

The Clue in the Garden

 


The clue in the garden 


“Wake up, get ready for school!!!’’ My mother’s voice pierced through my dream. 

It was a brilliant morning on the roads of Keshav Nagar. The cool morning breeze freshened me. The sounds of the chirping of birds were like music to my ears.

It was a typical day for me. I prepared for school in less than an hour.  I met Ravi and he joined me when I walked down the asphalt toward my school.

The school was about a mile from our house. It required 30 minutes to arrive. The school was little and immaterial, yet it was set in an extensive and delightful open countryside adjacent to an equally beautiful forest.

 

 “Hello,” Ravi abruptly shouted.  I was blissful as I saw one of my friends Som, headed out to welcome us. “You are always late. But today you seem punctual,” I remarked as we strolled together to the entry of our school. We spoke as we journeyed through the colorful bazaars of our town. “Do you know? Our watchman reported that yesterday, something strange occurred,” Som informed us. “Really?! What is it?” I was curious. “Yesterday night, he had left his square shoes outside the school garden for some strange reason and went away. When he returned, he found his shoes were missing! He thought some mischief-maker was around and hunting for him. But he found no one. Our headmaster will not believe him when he hears the tale.”

We walked towards our school garden. It was the most gorgeous part of our school. As we walked, I witnessed one of our teachers, Mr. Ram, bent over a gathering of flower shrubs in a corner. He was accompanied by our school gardener.

“How can you explain this?” I heard the gardener ask the professor. “Must be some intruder,” the latter mumbled. Similarly, as they left, I and Ravi hurried to the spot. “This looks like footprints!” I exclaimed. When we questioned our teacher, he replied sternly, “Don’t interfere with such things. It may very well be some intruder who remembered to jab their nose in our school garden. You needn’t stress.”

But I was interested at once. A mystery! This thought excited me. I generally wanted to show my detective abilities and this was the ideal open door!

During recess, I went on an excursion to the garden. There, I investigated the footprints more thoroughly. They were presumably brought about by square-formed shoes, I contemplated. While I was examining, I noticed banana peels near the footprint. I saw a watchman mumbling while carrying a stick. I enquired what the matter was. He replied he cannot stay in his cabin during the night because of the monkeys from the nearby forest. He couldn’t have his dinner because the monkeys stole his banana. I felt pity for the poor watch who had to remain hungry throughout the night because of naughty monkeys.

My inquisitive mind began to think, “Is there any connection between banana peels and footprints?” I shared the same doubt with my friends they laughed and mocked me by calling me, Junior Sherlock Holmes.

Bell rang … “Interval finished!” my friend shouted He was like a villain to me who is disrupting my detective mind. “Next period is history,” my friend said in a sleepy voice. My history teacher stepped into my class with a big fat textbook. I was staring at the book, “How can this textbook enter into my small brain?” As usual, the teacher wrote a topic on the board ‘Evolution.’ She understood that half of the class consider her class as a lullaby so the teacher changed her mode of teaching. She asked: “Do you know why monkeys try to imitate human beings?” One of my brilliant classmates gave a very good response, “Monkeys have a close connection with human beings and they are our ancestors.”

Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind. I yelled, “I got the culprit! I understood whose footprints there are! They are the watchman’s ancestors!” The whole class turned towards me. My teacher screamed, “Are you dreaming? Whose ancestor? What are you talking about?” I was like a comedian to my classmates but I was contended that I have given life to my History class My headmaster who was hiding behind the window watching the happenings in the class suddenly entered. All stood up. My headmaster was having the patience to listen to me. He asked me, “What were you talking about?” I explained that I found out about the continuation of the incident which happened in the garden. My teacher was very restless and she was looking at her watch as she knows my nature very well and it will take one period full for me to explain her Evolution lesson.

 My headmaster’s curious looks inspired me to explain my findings. Like a hero, I started explaining. All eyes were staring at me. I felt overwhelmed I began, “A monkey from the forest stole the banana of our watchman. While moving back from his cabin he saw the watchman’s shoes and as monkeys have a tendency to imitate humans, he tried to wear the shoes and was walking through our garden munching bananas.” I heard someone from the crowd uttering, “Wonderful work! You’ve solved it!”

“Did it happen like that?” While moving back to my class I was doing self-introspection.

This incident inspired me to be an actual detective in the future. And indeed, the future did have a lot of plans for me!! I was soon indulged in many more mysteries and this one was my very first!!
