The Art of Focus - Anvesha Rana

Handling other people is a tedious task, and that, too, with care becomes even more difficult. We expect the best treatment, facilities and equipment when it comes to us, but we seldom realize that to receive the best, we also need to treat others at our best. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. 

Each flower in a garden is unique, yet they all wave off different fragrances. All five fingers are not equal, yet they have additional capabilities to help us. Our unity lies in our diversity; we are together because we are different. We should learn to respect the differences of each individual and have the courage to be who we are and not be what others think we should be. 

Life is best seen as a constant journey in which sometimes we run, walk, crawl, slither, but all matters is that we keep going on. Even if sometimes we fall back and reach square one, we should have the strength to fight back and be even stronger because that is how we take our learning forward.

Thank you to all my teachers - Rishona Chopra

Drawing by Rishona Chopra

Teachers are an essential aspect of our life; they help us to grow, learn and enjoy. 

To my teachers:
I learned so much because of you,
You helped me become like a humble bamboo!
You helped me grow,
You helped me know.
The way you taught me to dance and drama,
And about Barack Obama.
English and maths,
You made me laugh!

Thank you so much, and a very Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers of the world and especially to:
Mrs Geetika Chopra (Mother), Ms. Apoorva Kathuria, Ms. Anju, Ms. Monisha, Ms. Sayanatnee Mishra, Ms Sunita Mehta, Ms Sukhpreet Kaur, Ms. Naina, Ms. Neha, Ms Tanya, Ms Deepika, Ms. Divya, Ms Jyotsna, Ms Nibbrati, Ms Geetanjali, Ms Sonali, Mr Sandeep, Mr Jugjiv,Mr Manoj, Mr. Anoop and Mr Satyam!

Grow More Trees - Budh Kunwar

Trees play an important role in our life. Without trees, we can't imagine our life. Trees give oxygen to breathe, and it takes carbon dioxide. They purify the air. They give us flowers, fruits, wood, and shade. They are also home to many birds and insects. Some trees are used to make medicines. We make beautiful furniture from wood. Without trees, it's difficult for us to get rain. Sitting under a tree for few hours relaxes our mind and body. 

I would request everyone not to cut trees, instead grow more and more plants and trees for themselves.
