The Happy Wanderer

To one's parents When they’re watching TV And one resents. Mother, dear, why the tussle, It's time to end the Monday-morning bustle. And here's the deal, I propose to seal, To spare you a penny for there to be no hustle. The sparkling TV's drab with news, So why don't you retire to the mews? If you stay put, I'll miss my show, Come come, there's the larder to raid and the lawn to mow. To a young child, Who’s having his fun at a park, But you want to have it for free from him. Hello there kid, I won't be so benign Evacuate and you'll be fine! The place’s lovely, no scorching sun, A pleasant treat for everyone!! And I'd be glad to take in the weather fresh, So you'd rather make a move than thresh. Of a teacher, Who nurtured for a year, Perspired without a tear. But who is now a part of the past, In your life who doesn’t last. There's a Ma'am, now a passe...

Have you watched the serial 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'? Of course you have!! It was my favorite pass-time when I was in kindergarten. It doesn't bore me even now. Mustn't it be difficult to draft out a screenplay for an enthralling story? Are you willing to take up the challenge? 1.

But here's the catch- unlike the conventional Mickey Mouse stories, in this one, 'educational' symbolizes 'morally educational'. 3. You may add other characters- but none of them should be from the Mickey Mouse cast (no Pete, no Chip and Dale); they need to be purely your creation. Remember that since your story is meant for a Mickey-Mouse audience, you need to introduce these characters with a description and with a relevance to your tale.  ILLUSTRATIONS ARE WELCOM...

Writing informal letters is a cakewalk for most people- and I say so from a certain perspective. In most cases, the subject-matter of  we write to our relatives, friends or peers , and not the flow or the language, matters. (As long as the message is conveyed, you're fine!) If you stick to this canon, you're doing good. Carry on. (You just might be able to rectify some of your mistakes! See if you can.) Now when it comes to the literary sector of people, you might just have to be a teeny weeny bit careful. Ensure that the recipient  understands your letter- and for this reason, be lucid and succinct. Don't pack in too many words; make your writing conversational. Or to put it simply: 'The language comes to you. Allow it to make its way towards you. Don't pounce on it and devour it." Letter writing today doesn't carry too much weight-age. What if you were to dissuade me from that belief in the form of a letter? About me : I am passionate about books ...
