Friendship - Sia Nagar

In March I shifted to a new society I only had one friend Tvisha. When I played a game with her, we were looking for someone who could play with us. We found a girl named Pankti, we played with her. The next day I played with her and lots of kids were there with her. While we were playing, I found a girl named Aarya. She joined us too, and we were good friends.

One day I was went to the park there was nobody except Pankti and Aarya then I got to know they both are also good friends, now we are best friends, and we have picnics and parties etc.

Friendship - Yashraj Sharma

 “A friend is someone who knows all about you and still understands you.” - Elbert Hubbard.

Friendship! If someone asks me about the most important people in my life, I will say my family and friends because these two relationships have always kept me optimistic in my unhappy times and taken care of me.

But, unfortunately, in today’s times, our non-verbal communication has gained much ground. Now, priorities have changed to some extent. Sometimes, things commonly make us fume. When we send our best friend a message through Whatsapp, they have seen it, and we have the double blue ticks to prove it. Yet, they haven’t replied.

A sense of hesitation and discomfort starts to tingle in us. We start thinking before sending texts to our friends. We start overthinking and thoughts like, will our friendship grow after this or will they not talk to us? Start coming to our mind. But my experience with friends is thankfully different !!

A wise saying says no one knows the importance of water until the well dries; this applies to friends also. We never realise the value of friends until we are separated.

Before this pandemic, during offline classes, we met our friends daily, we used to chit-chat with each other, work as a team, exchange our thoughts and views etc. Though we were good friends for a long time, I never realised that is such a strong bond. So during this time, we are connecting through video calls on weekends. It refreshes my mind. I feel elated and ecstatic. It would be true to say that friends are valuable treasures of life.

I pray to God and look forward to meeting my friends in person very soon.

Learning brought to life - Rishona Chopra

The book My Good School is about the importance of real-world learning.

In our school, we learnt about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. If we, in one of our school trips, visited Jallianwala Bagh, then I suppose it would be real-world learning!

Climbing mountains will demonstrate the fall in air pressure. Floating on the salty sea will explain density and buoyancy.

Our school, Gyanshree, implements this real-world learning. We go on school trips and do several experiments not only in science but in each subject we have a unique project to do! That one project connects the issues and helps us understand the importance of the real world. 

Once in 3rd Grade, we were learning about Mahatma Gandhi, and we went on a school trip to some sort of museum that displayed Mahatma Gandhi's life. It was fascinating; not only did I learn a little bit of the route to that place, but I learnt about history in another engaging way. So that was the fun about real-world learning. Not only do we have fun, but we know a lot more than we learn from our textbooks.
