The Happy Wanderer

दूर देखो, क्या दिखे? क्षितिज के पास नदी के तट पर एक हरियाली नजर में आती हैं। सोचूँ जैसे जगत की सुंदरता अजब से विलीन हो जाती है ! पुस्तक, पक्षी, विद्यालय, प्रगति, शब्द तो कितने आते हैं। मन के भवंडर, फवारे और समुन्दर, सच को सुनकर थम जाते हैं । देखो वहां जहाँ समुन्दर का किनारा पहाड़ों को धीमी पुकार में पुकारता है । लगता नहीं कि वहां होगा कोई ठिकाना  जहाँ लोग थैलियों भर सपनों  का  अनुभव करते  हैं । और अब पूछोगे , कौनसे विचित्र  चित्र हमारे इन मित्रों के नेत्रों के सामने प्रकट होते हैं। क्या परियां परीलोक से उड़ती है या सूरज चाँद को मिलता है? या फिर एक साधारण नजर फुलती है , जो तुम्हारी जिंदगी के तस्वीर निकलती है । एक संतुषट बच्चा, हृदय का सच्चा, जो स्वछ व कुशल जीवन जीता है ।

Short No te: I wrote this as a school essay- a picture composition, to be precise. There were two pictures- highlighting   a sparrow and a puppy- as is made obvious by the content of the essay. The sparrow was perched on a tree, in the process of making a nest,while the bird was shown running , with a collar wrapped around its neck. Our composition was to be a collabora t ion of the two images. That and a con textually relevant story is what I've striven to make it.  Hope you like it. PS: It was meant to be 250 word s long- but it' s crossed the 350 barrier!  Yearning to Learn Fluff rolled his tiny eyes and cleared his throat. A mellow squeak was the most he could spare. His limbs were as frail as the gulmohar branches by the foot of the huge tree. It was ten in the morning, yet the sun seemed a faint yellow tint in the morning sky. The loud barking of Master Carbon had ceased, but it clung to Fluff like a chameleon, throbbing like the percussion that J...

Dear Diary, If I were to house all the fabulousness and the enjoyment that could possibly be housed in the most confined space available, the chosen ‘space’ would be a single word- TUESDAY, the 19 th of April. The day started with gusto, as I woke at ten minutes to seven in the morning to see Mother all geared up for a game of cricket. We left the house at twenty-five minutes past seven sharp, me all togged up and ready for the game- with a ‘YUVI’ bat and a tennis ball. Mother, a competent bowler, so as to familiarize me with the different ways and angles in which a ball can be bowled, threw unplayable balls- some Yorkers. We played till eight I suppose, with me possessing a hit-to-missed ratio of about one is to nine at the end of the game. We decided to switch to badminton after that, and tried out the new badminton net that we had bought, Mother and I playing ‘not-so-vigorous-but-challenging’ shots. This sporty element of the day brought into it a feeling of energy, o...

My Sports’ Day Speech Right from my childhood, I have been an introvert, always engrossed in either reading or writing. I have had sparks and gusts of stage fear several times in my life- but, honestly speaking, I like facing an audience (though it sometimes gives me the creeps!). Every year, in our school, we have a ‘Sports Day’. When I was in Sr. Kg, I was given an opportunity to speak on this day, in front of quite an audience. I had been rehearsing for this event for over a week and yet there were several pronunciation errors in my speech. I was nervous. This would be the first time I had ever addressed an audience. It was ten in the morning- the sun was shining furiously on my face, radiant with gusto. I had put on a pouting expression to show my fuming self to everyone around me. I was constantly battling the sun, and at the same time mentally rehearsing my speech, as my teacher escorted me to the centre of the sports field. Mine was the replica of the face of a g...
