My Tantrums As A Child - Gaurangi Rastogi

 My childhood was a colourful one. Full of life, fun and tantrums. Whenever I talk about my childhood to my family, they say, “Beta, you were so fussy about anything you wanted.” 

I still remember one of them: a fuss about a dress! 

Really on a dress! 

I was 5 and very passionate about Disney princesses; my favourite was Cinderella. I wanted a dress like hers, which was unavailable in my hometown. So, I told my Papa to ask my aunt and bring it whenever she visited me. I did not eat anything for weeks when she got the dress. I rejoiced and kept it for my next birthday. For years, I just kept procrastinating about wearing the dress. It’s just kept in my closet and has fungus on it. 

There are many stories like this in my life, but this story made me realise that there is a reason behind our parent’s deeds.

Tomoe Gakuen - Anvesha Rana

I wish I were a student at Tomoe, 

so free and yet so connected, 

I could have met the headmaster, 

and made friends with Totto-Chan. 

If I were a student at Tomoe, 

I would have visited the Hot Spring, 

while enjoying the new bling. 

The Souvenir photo would have cracked me up, 

and the Oops boy would have been a fun hub, 

I really wish I were at Tomoe, 

for it would be so lively. 

If I were at Tomoe,

I would have learnt Eurythmics, 

Though it would be funny to be so Rhythmical. 

I do wish I were at Tomoe, 

but I already have my own right here, 

which is My Good School!

Hot Springs - Rishona Chopra

A hot spring is a spring of naturally hot water, typically heated by subterranean volcanic activity. The Blue Lagoon (Iceland) is the most famous hot spring in the world. Yes, there are hot springs in India - such as Manikaran.

Having trips to hot springs is a fascinating thing. You can do several things like -
- Relaxation
- Swim
Most of all, you have a natural spa with just you around!

I have never been to a hot spring before, but I wish I could have a trip to a hot spring. Maybe our school could take us to a hot spring!
