We must build the cleanest country!!

‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness’,

As it frees you from mental stress!

Way to bring nobility and gentry,

We must build the cleanest country!!

Still water invites mosquitoes surely,

Clean clothes dispel them effortlessly!

Must is hygiene and proper sanitary,

We must build the cleanest country!!

When garbage not disposed properly,

It spreads diseases; kills men untimely!

Trash in place is very elementary,  

We must build the cleanest country!!

Anyone entering our home and class,

Should find the places clear as glass!

Let’s take pledge; never leave them dirty,

We must build the cleanest country!!

Bring ourselves to cleanliness mode,

'Swach Bharat’ mission must be followed!

Beauty of nation wouldn’t come for free,

We must build the cleanest country!!

Our PM found the splendid mission,

We all need to make a contribution!

He is the leader, a great visionary,

We must build the cleanest country!!

Passing Away of a Maverick

Last night, mom told me that Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee passed away. I knew about him. He was a famous political leader. A few hours later she got an SMS from my school that it will be a holiday the next day to mourn his demise. I was shocked to hear this and kept on wondering the whole night if it really would be a holiday or my parents were just joking. I had completed my homework and was all prepared for the next day. I had full excitement to take my new bottle to school. And suddenly it was declared no school?

It was an unexpected holiday with no plan or purpose. It was frustrating, and I sulked in a bad mood. Atal Bihari Ji Vajpayee must have wanted India to progress and everyone to succeed, not that everyone stops working when he is gone! It shouldn’t be a holiday. I couldn’t sleep that night.         

Next morning the newspaper was full of information about Atal Bihari Ji Vajpayee. As I was reading it, it became more interesting. I came to know so many things about him.

·         He was the first non-Congress (from BJP) President who completed full five years

·         Pokhran nuclear tests were under his initiative and guidance. Which was indeed a courageous act.

·         He was honoured with Padma Vibhushan and Bharat Ratna which is highest civilian award of the country.

·         He was a known foodie who liked laddos and gol-gappa alike. He had a robust sense of humor which even his opponent cherished.

·         He had no enemies, only friends. L.K.Advani yet another BJP leader who was his best friend.

·         Unimaginably popular orator, emotional poet, and a writer. He wrote books like Vichar Bindu and Amar Aag Hai.

·         He gave a tribute to the nation by building many long highways.

·         He was a great synthesizer player.

·         Some of his beautiful quotes will always be remembered-

“You can change friends but not neighbors.”

But sorrowfully, he died last night. I now felt bad. Vasundra Raje is the CM of Rajasthan, she too is from the BJP. She must have felt bad. People like Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi from other parties too paid him a tribute. He had no haters.

The nation lost a true leader. I felt a gem was plucked out of the necklace, but then it is always going to be in the purse!

I gained so much knowledge about him through newspaper and internet. If there was no holiday, I couldn’t have probably known so much about him. The unexpected holiday became an opportunity to discover so much about a great personality of our country. 

Although, I still feel that we should be called to the school at least for an hour, and talks and discussions should be made about the personality. That would have been fitting tribute to him. But certainly, I found a great way of utilizing my unexpected holiday. Everything was absolutely amazing. My day had become interesting, informative and useful.

How about you?

I’ve got so many toys and many pets,

World’s best candies and chocolates!

Make-up sets and accessory,

I have all the expensive jewelry!

I sleep on the most comfortable bed,

Got so many servants, I am the head!

Whatever I wish- my dad gets me,

That’s’ the reason I’m always happy!!

One day on shopping I found a mirror,

Before using, it had a caution to consider!

The shopkeeper told it had some magic,

You only must figure out its logic!

Brought it home, & when looked into,

I was gloomy and quickly turned blue!

Even though a lot of things I had,

In the mirror, how could I be so sad?

That incident put me in confusion,

Tried it all, thinking it was an illusion!

Walked out of my home in despair,

Saw some people who needed care.

Gave the poor some of my clothings,

Yummy food, and many more things,

Those who were without any shelter,

In making their homes I became the helper!

Came back home tired and sweaty,

Hair and clothes were totally dirty

This time in the mirror as I gazed,

Wow! I was absolutely amazed!

My reflection in the mirror, Oh dear,

was very beautiful and so clear!

So I learned I should not be greedy,

Be helpful to those who are needy!

Collecting things is not ever wise,

Sharing with all is the biggest prize!!

Leaf Out from 102 Not Out

Last month I saw an amazing movie, 102 Not Out. This movie was about an old son and his older father living together. Father is Dutta (played by Amitabh Bachchan) and his son is Babu (played by Rishi Kapoor). Dutta is very lively person whereas Babu is scared of old age life. Dutta wants Babu to live a better life, so he acts as if he is sending him to old age home. Babu would do whatever Dutta says to stay back as he likes his home very much.

This movie was very insightful. I learned many things. The first one was that we should live life lively and not die before we die. Living lively means living in an active mode and being happy with what we have. It means not being dull in gloom or being scared all the time. My great-grandmother is 88 years old and suffers some physical issues of walking. But still, she enjoys a lot with children by playing games with them. She would tell stories and crack jokes, tease children and enjoy with them. My nana nani also enjoy and cherish everything. Recently, we went to an adventure park with them. I was pleasantly surprised to see their enthusiasm to go for zip line without any fear. I think that is living lively. Young children enjoy life fully. However, as they grow up the pressure of studies and competitions make them way too serious. I recommend grownup children to have a balance of both. Even in the exam, they must chill a bit.

Nani on Zipline

Another important message from the movie was that we should take care of our parents and grandparents. We should care by not only providing support and necessities but also giving them company. It will make them happy and satisfied. In this movie, Babu’s son went to the USA and never came back. He only wrote emails and letters with excuses and did not care much for his father or grandfather’s phone calls. That was rude. It was shocking to know that some people have no respect and love for their parents. They leave them without bothering how and where they are living. How painful it is! Many parents spend a lot of money on their children education and as those children get settled, they do not care for their parents’ needs. My favorite dialogue was, “औलाद अगर नालायक निकले तो सिर्फ उसका बचपन याद रखना चाहिए”. It was very touching, strong and powerful statement. If the child has turned up to be rotten, one should only remember good memories of his childhood and live life without any stress.

I also came to know about a disease called Alzheimer. It sounds very deadly. It happens to people in the old age where patient gradually forgets everything even the close relationships. It would be terrible to have this disease. It would be very difficult to manage a life without memories. My mom told that quality of life of people suffering from such disease can be improved if close family members and friends are around and support them.  As a grand and great-grandchild, I feel very fortunate to have both my grandparents and my great-grandmother in the same town I live, whom I can visit frequently.

It is a powerful movie with many serious messages conveyed in a comic manner.

Dr. Deepak Shivpuri

In cold, fever or a cough, I am in full trust!

Whenever sick, I know whom to go first!!

The person who makes every patient merry,

He is none other than dear Dr. Deepak Shivpuri!

Children are normally scared of the docs,

But I am certainly not one of the folks!

Coz every visit he comforts me like a friend,

And would suggest Dosa to eat in the end!

When I suffered from brain fever, so deadly,

Everybody’s knees were turning into jelly!

Seeing me bedridden with series of drips,

The whole family felt helpless as if in eclipse!

But, we had confidence in our doctor,

Who had magical powers like Harry Potter!

He brought me life back, healthy and fine,

With his super skills and charm shine!

When my brother came to the world’s fold,

He felt so delicate & tender in my hold!

There were no worries absolutely,

We had doctor's trusted hands, fortunately!

Special doctors like him sacrifice personal time,

Work hard, keeping children solemnly prime!

Treat everyone professionally with a human touch!

I am delighted to write a poem for the doctor- such!!

My Dadu

Since I was small you have
taken care of me like a mother!

You have always given 
unconditional love and utmost care!!

I have lost the count of things
you have done for me,

All the years that went past by
you have only given me glee!

From the time you told me 
those lovely bedtime stories,

To the time you succumbed to 
my wishes when I said please!

Ride back home from school every day 

paranthas with which I was nourished,

the comfy afternoon naps in your tokri, 

those moments made my childhood cherished!

Even now when I do something daring, 

you always are caring!

You protect me without any fail, 

no matter how naughty I sail

You have raised me like a princess, 

you call me meaow,

to have you, my bebechi, my chitti, 

I am proud and lucky, oh wow!

You have silver in your hair, 

but gold in your heart, 

Dadu, you are my hero, 

you are the smartest of smart!

I know that I can count on you,

you will never let me fall!

Because, You are the greatest,  

and loveliest Grandpa of all!
