School Mag Memories: Published.

Isn’t it a great feeling to see your name in print? A sea of alphabets and in the midst lies a word which you are most familiar with, a word which you have been hearing ever since you registered your first memory, a word which if uttered would make you look around! 

Your name in fine print would surely please you. This feeling multiplies if it comes with an article, drawing or any other work that you may have done. I saw my name in print for the first time in my school magazine when i was studying in 8th std . I had written an article on why education is important for a developing country like ours’. Since then i have written some articles and poems, though they may not be any significant or worthy of mentioning but i wrote it, isn’t that enough! This week i had dug up my old school magazines in search of my two poems that got published in it. Since i don’t write poems much, i consider the ones that i have written in high esteem. So, i present my two published poems, exclusively for you.

1. nature’s beauty
God is nature with it’s dutyWe have to protect it as our dutyGod has made beautiful flowerswhich spread happiness like showers
The bud with a colourful butterflyand the bird high up in the skywith their wings and furry feathersGod has made sweet creatures
The sparrows and clouds and treesshow us the way to love and peacefor the nature teaches us a moralto be kind and not to be cruel

2. One rainy dayOne rainy day when i was at school, My class had become a swimming poolMy friends tried to be bold,But when they touched the water,They said, “Oh so cold!!!!”
In history period we learned about nobles and clergyAnd then started my friend’s allergyDimple Ma’am called him a foolBut he didn’t bother as he was very cool
Samosas and pakoras were brought,Which had finished while the teacher’s taught?At this Pragya ma’am scolded,In anger she had her book folded.
The teachers taught chemistry and historyBut the basics for us were still a mysteryAt home we had a separate tutorFor English, Hindi and computer
This was the beginning of monsoonCats and dogs will rain soonBack home i ate pulav and toastThat was the day i enjoyed the most.
