OUR MOTHERLAND
By Vidur Khanna,(XII)
Tisb, Bangalore
India, our Motherland,
Built on the blood of our forefathers
Has been kind to us all these years
For which our generation is not grateful.
We do not remember the rich tradition,
The true religion – we live in a fantasy,
An illusion of what was planned for our country
By our respected forefathers.
Look around today
And you will see,
Corruption, greed and selfishness,
One person exploiting another.
It is our fault we are in this condition.
We should work to make our country
A morally upright, progressive, powerful one.
Instead of an imbalanced eternity
India needs to work
For the betterment of each other,
To build a ladder to the top for it’s denizens
And help other nationals to climb up too.

My idea of a good book
By Preeti Dangwal,(V)
John Martyn Memorial School
My idea of a good book is that it should have good stories with colourful pictures and thinking questions. Print should be clear and bold so that it is easy to read. The book should also have interesting poems. I should enjoy the stories, poems and characters present in them while reading it. The stories should have happy endings in a positive way. The book should have moral values. Good characters in a story act as role models for us children.

It's my india
By Akansha Bhatt,(X)
Himjyoti School
Those were the days of destruction,
Those were the days of bloodshed,
Days without peace,
When there was no time to sleep.
Those were the days of struggle,
For freedom, for liberty and
For Independence.
But now those days of writhe and
Strain have gone,
Because today my country is going on and on.
Stepping towards a new height,
Flying up and up like a kite;
The past has gone like a dark night,
And the future is approaching with bright sunlight!
Come let us all pledge today
To make our country proud one day,
To serve that land
Which gives us receptiveness,
Which gives us open heartedness;
Gives us the ability and willingness
To identify ourselves.
That fair land watered by
Ganga and Jamuna,
And yes, it is the heart of the world
It’s MY INDIA !!
