What I Learned From The Wild - By Tianna Thakur

Image
Nature is a beautiful thing. Nature gives us the very things we need to survive and how are we repaying it? By destroying its trees for our selfish wishes. Nature gives us everything it has and therefore we learn our first lesson: Don’t be selfish, even if the person or thing you are generous too doesn’t pay you back. Nature is a stress reliever. These days lots of squishy balls and fidget spinners and more are being sold, primarily because of how much stress we are facing because of this pandemic. But do we really need these expensive toys? Or was a hidden stress reliever right under our nose all along? Sometime, just go to a forest or field. Just close your eyes and listen to all the sounds around you. The birds chirping, leaves rustling and the sounds of bees buzzing around, collecting nectar. If you are patient, within no time you will find yourself sleeping. That is because nature is peaceful. It does not have any anger in it, nor sadness, nor stress. That leads us to our secon...

Games - By Aatharva Mangalam

Games are something which is fun to do. We can play games when we are bored or when wanting to have some fun. Now Games are divided into two major categories ·      Physical Games ·      Video Games These two are the major categories.   I will walk you through them briefly. Video Games Video games are the games which are played on screens like a PC or mobile. They harm our brain and eyes. Overall video games should be avoided. If you still want to play, you can play for like 30 minutes or an hour.   If you play more than that then you should turn on your device’s blue filter light/ blue screen. Example of video games are Roblox, Minecraft, Bed wars etc.   Physical Games Physical games are games which are played outside the house. They don’t harm our brain or eyes instead they make us physically fit and mentally smart. Overall we should play physical games. There is no time limit for physical games as it is good for...

Can Plants be grown on Mars?- By Arush Sarkar

  Can Plants be Grown on Mars? Scientists have set their sights on the Red Planet and a visit to the Mars is expected in a decade or so. Now the most important question that is going on in their minds is whether plants can be grown on Mars. In the famous science fiction book “The Martian” by Andy Weir, we see how Mark Watney, a space astronaut uses the Martian soil to grow potatoes in a controlled environment habitation module. In reality, research suggests that there are some soil on Mars that do have the nutrients that plants would need to survive. However the nutrients may not be present in the right amount; so fertilizers might be needed for the soil. Further, the soil there contains perchlorates (chemical compounds), however that can be washed with water. The soil on Mars can also hold more water than on Earth, since Martian gravity is less. Then the atmosphere of Mars is mostly carbon dioxide and plants need this gas. However the extreme cold temperature there is one of th...

Peter and the Alien- By Eeshan Ghosh

The Little Boy Ghost- Aarna Gupta

  The Little Boy Ghost Once upon a time, in a small house, there lived a family of four- mother, father and their two children. One day when the daughter was coming out of her room to have dinner with her parents and brother, she saw that the swing in their garden was moving.

The Best Oven - Part 4 – By Akshaj Banik

The workers were very good and neat. I went to my new shop at the shopping mall. I was surprised to see a queue of people in front of my shop. There was a customer with a big order. He asked me, 'What varieties do you have?’ I said, 'Muffins, cakes for birthdays and parties, pastries and sandwiches.’    He said to me, 'I want everything!'   I told him the total amount. It was $249. He said, '$230'. I said 'Ok!’ It was a great income. I then went to my old shop. I saw that everything had finished. The income there was $197. It was a great day. That day I was very happy!

The Best Oven - Part 3 - By Akshaj Banik

The thing I was sad about was that I had to close my shop yesterday. But today I successfully opened it. It made an income of $117 but at the end of the day I met a very rude customer. He gave me $7 instead of $12.   The robotic security hit him with his hand but still it was great business. I then thought of expanding my business. I opened one more shop in a shopping mall so that I could generate more income. I needed two more employees. Now I have more employees. I give them $90 per month and an advance of $30.

The Best Oven - Part 2 - By Akshaj Banik

It seems that I had a lot of income yesterday. I should keep a security guard. One of my friends was saying that security guards can be robots too. I too have thought of keeping a robotic security guard. I bought 1 worth $149. It was very good. It was a good guard but when I opened my shop, I saw thousands of ants. I called the pest control and had to close the shop!!!!!!!!! I went to a shopping mall near my shop when I suddenly met one of my friends, Harry Singh. He was going to see a film in a theater. I too watched the film with him. It was very funny but encouraging.   We went to the top of the mall and to the food court. We talked for a while then went home.

The Best Oven - By Akshaj Banik

'The best oven' is the name of my shop but I never had a best oven, instead I have lots of old collections of them. There was a rumor in the city that it was the 'best bakery'. My first customer's name was frank. He was one of my best friends in school but had left after a few days. He asked me, “How many variations of cake do you have?” I replied, “Which variety do you want? He said, “A birthday cake for my mother.” I asked, “When is it? He said, “Day after tomorrow”. So I said, “I will deliver the cake”. I gave him a book and asked him to see different cake designs. He chose a cake with three candles on it.   The cost was $19.   He gave me a $5 advance. The next day when I was on my way to give the cake to him, I thought of how lucky I am for it was my first income.   I successfully delivered the cake but instead of paying me $14, he gave me $20.   I closed my shop for the day and went home. The next day when I went to open the shop, I saw a li...

She looked frightened and said “Mommy I am not well.” The mom understood it was not her child and said “What happened? You are not my child.”   The mom wanted to wake up her husband, Tom but was so frightened that she could not even touch him. She screamed and her husband woke up and turned on the lights.

My Lovely Cats - By Ryan Banerjee

One day when my mother went out to the store, she heard people saying that the mother of the kittens is dead as she had gotten hit by a car. My mother came and conveyed the message to me. I was so sad that I started crying.   I am an animal lover and hearing this sad news upset me. The two little kittens were crying in the lobby of our house. So my mother and I decided to feed them and treat them as our very own pets. We started giving them food. They were very happy. They always meowed whenever I passed by them. They ate their food with zeal. One day other cats smelled the food we were giving to the kittens and they entered our house and were trying to eat the food. The big brother was trying to save the little brother and thank god I was there for I scared the cats so badly that they never again dared to enter our home. I always played with the kittens...

My First Day of School at BHSM - By Ryan Banerjee

On my first day at BHSM I was feeling very nervous. My mother told me not to worry. I sat on the bus and was surprised to see all the children. It was the first time I rode on a school bus. I reached school and the school staff showed me the way to my class. I was seven years old. Feeling excited, I followed the ramp to the class. Our teacher was very kind so she let us sit anywhere we wanted to. I sat comfortably and the class started. First our teacher asked us to introduce ourselves and we did. Our teacher was very glad. Then she started with our very first subject in this school. Our minds were full of doubts. We had so many queries so we asked our teacher so many questions.   She answered all of them one by one. After that we had our short break where we ate our fruits. Then we continued to have other classes. We met many new teachers.   When the long break arrived, we ate our food and made new friends. The next day when we came to school, we had our P.E. class. I...

Life Before and After Corona - By Ryan Banerjee

The day when Corona started, we all were taking it lightly and thought that it would end in a month or two but after a few weeks the virus started infecting more and more people. Corona is a worldwide virus. It started from China. I was very angry during the lock-down as I could not go out of my house to enjoy or to attend classes but the advantage is that there is very less pollution. I also started enjoying staying at home. I never thought that this virus would stay for such a long time. Suddenly people started dying due to it. Many celebrities too. But I still thought it would end but it didn’t. I stayed at home for a month and then I lost all my patience and wanted to go out so much that I almost cried. But crying will not change anything. I also wanted to go school, not only me but all my friends too. We started having online classes. I enjoyed them and also met my friends after a long time but our class was only for an hour. We also did not have any contests, shows etc. But t...
