Story on Beyblade - Tenzin Paldon


Image from Walmart.Com

A boy named Shubham, whose Father was a shopkeeper. He sells toys for children, including Beyblade. In Shubham'a class, Beyblade became famous, which made Shubham acquire it. His Friends persuaded him to bring Beyblade from his Father's shop.

Without asking his Father, he took the Beyblade to school. He thought he would return it after showing it to his friends. His friends started playing with it. When one of his friends played, it spun near the stone and broke. This made Shubham scared that if his Father knew about it, he would get beatings.

At the shop, his Father was counting the Beyblades, and he found out that one Beyblade was missing, which made him angry. He thought that the worker had taken it for his son without asking. He started questioning him about the lost Beyblade and threatened that he would fire him if he did not speak.

When Shubham came home, he heard that his Father was angry, which made him even more scared, but when he saw the worker, he accepted that he had stolen it. His Father asked forgiveness from the worker and gave Shubham a lecture to never take things without permission. So this story states the idiom" honesty is the best policy."

A Day In My Life - Reveda Bhatt

24th September this year was exciting.

So, it was Saturday, and my colleague, Kunal (with whom I had been talking for about one year), was in Dehradun (where I live) on his School trip. We had been discussing meeting at the NATIONAL OFFICE*, at The English Book Depot, for days.

We fixed the date to meet as 25th. Talking about something on the 24th, we changed our plan to meet that day as they were here in a group! I requested my Mom to drop me off there.

When I reached with my Mom, they all hadn’t arrived, so we went to the back side of the book-shop and into Sir’s office, spoke to him and just a while later, the whole group arrived. After meeting them, my Mom left.

Seeing them all the first time, I hadn’t spoken to any one of them except Kunal. But, that day, meeting them, we all had fun.

Sir bought us coffee and then went somewhere. Later, to discuss work, we both sat at a table nearby.
Soon, it was time for them to leave. We clicked a photograph to keep as a memoir and drove away.

Learning from each other and experiencing new things under such a group with such influential people is what keeps me going on this path of my life that I have chosen!
