LOHAGARH FARMS

We took a step away from the bustling malls, and the brilliant urbanization for a day, as we plunged into the heart of the Aravali hills, to a place known as Lohagarh Farms. In the early morning, we set off with a chill in the air, and reached our destination, the serene and peaceful Aravli Hills. In the farms, we quickly gobbled up a typical village breakfast, paranthas and aloo puri. We played a bit of football in the dusty ground, which wasn't exactly Old Trafford standard, with obstacles and mud everywhere where the ball bounced at several places boggling the opponent. Anyways, aftera quick look around the Farm, we came to know there were great activities sprawling all over the farm. We first hopped onto a tractor, and took a round. It was a bumpy and jumpy ride. Nevertheless, we got to know how they move around and encounter potholes and the rough terrain disturbing their journey. We took another ride, but not on the tractor but the camel, as we took a seat on it's hump. There was a pitch for tug of war with a lengthy rope. We also played darts, where are aim was the decider of a score, and believe me,it  wasn't pie. We also did some commando-style crawling under a low net, which led us to a balance beam, made of tree wood. We also did quite a lot of parkour. And after oodles of more activities, we muched a quick bite for our lunch, and called it a day. What an awesome way to spend our holidays. If tou're tired of the city and the loud noise of vehicles with the awful pollutiom, you can come here, and the enjoyment will just not stop.

JOSÉ MOURINHO SACKED!

Chelsea manager José Mourinho has been sacked after the atrocious first-half of the season. The Defending Champions are now at the 16th spot, just on the edge of relgation. Arguably one of the best managers of all time has led The Blues to 8 titles in his time at Stamford Bridge. Roman Abramovich and the others have come to a verdict to make Mourhino leave the club. I would have never in my wildest dreams though that such a world-class team would be down in the dumps like this. I think it was the right decision, as maybe a new manager could get them back to their original brilliant form. Chelsea are in a bit of a mess, and the thing that should worry them that they have a big game against rivals Manchester United, and their chemistry is all haywire after the Portugese coach's departure. I'm almost sure they will suffer yet another loss at Old Trafford.Their game against Sunderland couldn't go to well after the consequences. Chelsea would now need an absolutely stupendous manager who can turn the tables around and get Chelsea back to winning ways. I guess we'll  just have to wait and watch to see how this turns out.

Adidas Uprising(U-12 FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT)

12th December was an absolute blast of a day, and probably the best Saturday in my life till date. On the frosty morning of 12th December, we entered the grounds of Ansal University, where we were just about to play a football tournament by the name of Adidas Uprising. We got a walkover in our first match, which provided us a free ticket to the pre-quarters. After an hour of anticipation, it was our match, and a great one. We ripped the other team to shreds with an annihilating 8-2 victory. In the quarters, we edged past 1-0 and were ecstatic that we reached the semi-finals. This would go on to be our toughest game with some brilliant football players as our opponents. But the frigid weather and icy winds didn't stop us in the game. The final was waiting for us after a 2-1 win in which we gave away a last-minute penalty, but God was on our side after their star player missed it. Later, it was the final, the moment of truth. We got a 2-0 lead which stayed with us through the whole game, and I cannot describe in words how I felt at that moment when the referee blew the final whistle. We triumphed in the U-12 Adidas Uprising cup. I was on cloud nine after lifting the glistening trophy and wearing the medal, but over the moon after receiving the award for player of the tournament. Our goalkeeper also hot handed the prestigious prize of Golden Glove. Our staggering teamwork and stupendous effort had led us to this.My, what a brilliant day had just passed by.

SEINFELD

Seinfeld is a hysterical comedy show from the late 90s which includes the daily lives of 4 people. Seinfeld includes some dialogues, events and characters that will leave you in chuckles. Julia Louis Dreyfus, Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander have portrayed their character flawlessly and I wouldn't be too surprised if it's named the best Comedy show of all time.***** 5 stars is the rating. there's no question about it. you woukd fall of your chair just watching an episode for 5 teeny minutes, and I can assure you would absolutely adore it. Michael Richards is brilliant, acting like a bit of a doofus, but intellectual in the same way. Jerry Seinfeld, the lead star is stunning. Jason Alexander does not make mistakes. Julia Louis Dreyfus is a jokester and prankster, and she does a perfect job.These four are massively hilarious, and the laughter doesn't stop. The person who comes up with all these unique characters and chucklesome plot desrves a nobel prize. The series has received 10 Emmy awards, 3 Golden Globes and the total count is a whopping 41 awards, and the series deserves it in every way. I'm sure you don't need any more evidence of how much appreciation and people love it.This is the reason TV's exist, for watching such staggering and stupendous shows. If you don't watch it, it'll be a great loss for you as this is one of the greats.You have nine great seasons to guffaw through, and you'll laugh your hearts out!

CHELSEA AND THEIR DISASTROUS SEASON


The defending champions are having an absolutely shocking season. They have been in miserable form, with losing a whopping 7 games out of their 12. I supposed The Blues would be hogging the top stop in the table, but their position is an awful 16th. Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world, but they have no points to support the statement after a dreadful season. They just suffered a loss against Stoke City, and are sitting near the bottom of the standings with a poor 11 points. Eden hazard, Diego Costa, Pedro are stupendous players but they just can't win. José Mourinho is a solid gaffer, but Chelsea has had a horrendous first quarter of the BPL 2015-16. I wouldn't be too surprised if they get relegated to the lower division, as they are just on the edge of being in the last 3 spots. Chelsea are simply not displaying their brilliance which led them to the trophy the season before. Maybe they can turn the tables around and leave us awestruck, but I think there's not much hope. I don't know what the cause of their utterly terrible form is, but what I do know is that they won't end up in the top 5, and I doubt they will ever even touch the top 8. Well, nothing is impossible. We'll see.

Kensuke's Kingdom-BOOK REVIEW

An absolutely crackling novel, an edge of the seat adventure, Kensuke's Kingdom is a marvellous book starring Michael and Kensuke. After a catastrophic fall overboard, Michael finds himself washed away on a remote island, with old Kensuke. I would never have though of this book to be such a fabulous read, but it was spectacular. The vivid description and characterisation and the stunning plot made me hold onto the book till the absolute last word. It is a truly heartwarming story, full of friendship and trust. The book was exceptional, and I'll give it a full 5 out of 5 stars-*****. It brings out the statement- friendship needs no language and how important the friendship and bonds are in life. Run to the nearest bookstore and grab a copy of it. I'm sure you won't regret it. Michael Morpurgo has done a sensational job with the beautiful lines, full of stimulating paragraphs and give us a feeling of actually being on the island. The imagery is unbelievably convincing. I just loved it. It was extraordinary. I have never read such a book, with such breath-taking description and a fantastic plot. It feels like I have stumbled upon in their world, cast away on an unknown island. I think all of you will absolutely adore this book. It may be short, but you don't need a 500- page thick novel to bring out the message. You need Kensuke's Kingdom. Think of it as the perfect read.

GIFA CUP


The GIFA cup was a magnificent initiative taken by the well-known newspaper of India-Hindustan Times. It was a ginormous cup, one for Delhi and one for Gurgaon. I participated in the Gurgaon tournament, where a whopping 78 teams participated. Our team was a debutant in the cup. The organizers had done a pretty fine job in terms of the venue, the match and management. Hosted at Ansal University, there were four pitches where we played. It was a tremendous experience for me and the rest of the team. HT had done a pretty good job. We got past through the group stages and made it to knockouts round at over to the round of 16 and then to the Quarters, where we suffered a loss. I felt really good at our decent progress in the cup, even though we lost the quarter finals. But nonetheless, we had a stunning time in the tournament, which was inevitably my best performance ever in a tournament. Hats off to HT for bringing joy to all the Football-crazy fans in Gurgaon, and hosting a platform for us to develop in our Football skills. But getting to the last 8 out of 78 is pretty good. It was more of a football festival than a tournament where it commemorated joy, fun and football.GIFA was disciplined flawlessly and HT  receives a thunderous applause for this event.

Chelsea vs Arsenal

The London rivalry was as its best as it was the match of Defending champions Chelsea and Prem giants Arsenal.It was a close match but Chelsea grabbed the win by 2-0.Chelsea defender Zouma was the replacement of legend John Terry after he smashed a header home in the 53rd minute aginst former team mate Petr Cech. Arsenal got angry and their fouls cost them two red cards and they finished the game with only nine men on the pitch. Eden Hazard, the magical maestro helped them seal the win as the Belgian scored in the 90th minute.After the match, Portugese gaffer Jose Mourhino remarked that Arsene Wenger should learn to cope with defeat. He said that Diego Costa should have been the man of the match. Once again, a great match, and Arsenal wil be hungry for the win next time.Will Arsenal grab a win next time, or will Chelsea get the better of them?

Hawaii-five O

Hawaii-five O is a stupendous TV crime show starring Alex 'O Loughlin as Steve McGarett and Scott Caan as Danny Williams.Hawaii-five O is a task force of five people led by Steve McGarett, and the five members are a team who find ruthless killers, homicidal maniacs, and cruel kidnappers.The show is perfect as it incorporates a lot of mystery, action and technology. Stunning action and electrifying thrillers give Hawaii-five O a different class.The show is as high-tech as it gets, the theme music is amazing and I always love it and am tempted to jump on a plane and go to Hawaii because of the ravishing looks of the city at the beginning. The crystal clear blue water, the sandy beaches, the skyscrapers and iconic buildings, I love it all.Full of twists, bursting with spine-tingling suspense and exhilarating action is the perfect combination.The characters are awesome and so is the show.I recommend this show to all action maniacs.

Top 5 BPL Summer Transfers

Memphis Depay-The Dutch youngster has left his former club PSV to join Prem Giants Manchester United.He could be the potential star of Manchester United with Van Persie, Falcao and Di Maria gone.With lots of new players joining in to fill the team,this squad can lead them to glory.With a 25 million pound fee,he is sure to make a big impact in the League.The no.7 has already scored a stunner against Club Brugge.He will go on to be a great player!

Bastian Schweinsteiger-The German legend has left Bayern Munich, and is another Manchester United signing.The midfielder is very experienced and has good defence, passing and shooting.The first German to play for Manchester United in the first team, the world cup winner will boss the midfield and his rival could be Yaya Toure.

Pedro-The former Barcelona player has joined Chelsea.The spaniard already scored for the Blues on his debut.He has played with players like Messi, Iniesta and more Barcelona players.Chelsea have made a good deal, as the goal machine Diego Costa has the spanish link with Pedro.This forward double could be a nightmare for other teams.

Nicolas Otamendi-Another La Liga transfer,Nicolas Otamendi has join Manchester city for 32 million pounds.The Valencia centre-back was in form last season, and he has to now stop strikers like Diego Costa, Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane.The 28 year old will have perfect chemistry with Pablo Zabaleta.The Argentina defenders will make a pretty solid defence as Sergio Aguero, also from Argentina will play up top.

Xherdan Shaqiri-The Swiss midfielder has come from Inter Milan to join Stoke. The wonderkid could be an awesome player for Stoke.With his experience from Bayern Munich,he could be a really good attacking midfielder, and could help Stoke City to get higher up the table.I think he'll do great.

Ethan Hunt the maverick

After watching Mission Impossible 5(which is absolutely staggering), I thought it would be a good idea to write about Ethan Hunt, the stupendous lead actor of the spectacular Mission Impossible series. A slick agent, who is a stunning person when it comes to plans. He will not be happy unless the plan is perfect and undetectable.He is swift, cunning and unpredictable.Probably the best secret agent, his action scenes are out-of this world.He is often wanted,but can slip away with ease.No matter what the circumstances, he can tackle and solve almost impossible problems.He can control the enemy like a puppet and can trap his target.A magician at escaping, a pro at beating criminals down, he is definitely one of a kind and the super Ethan Hunt will stay that way.I guess the word "impossible" is missing in his dictionary!By the way, Mission Impossible 5 is a must-watch and is as thrilling as thrilling can get!

My first week in Middle School

My first week in Middle School has been an absolute blast!Middle school is not the same as Primary.Responsibility,work and subjects have been taken to a new level.Now we have science, Drama, product design, History, Geography all new subjects.All are extremely interesting.It feels like School has evolved into a new stage.But now we have to remember teacher's names as we are completely new to them as teachers have to go through the same process.Although it is a little bit tougher,it doesn't matter.We get to learn lots of new concepts which will help polish our vocabulary, refine our skills, increase creativity and these are all what Middle School will help us accomplish.I am now learning Spanish, and Espanól is just amazing.How terrific it will be to learn another language and being fluent is our objective.Lockers,timetables are all over the place as we have upgraded to a tougher level.The teachers are all blisteringly good,and I am already sure this experience will be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.No turning back, a new large aim to accomplish.Lets go!!!!!!!

Jurrasic World

An amazing addition to the legendary Jurrasic Park series came out and I watched it.It was a great movie, with the Indomimus Rex being the beast destructing anything that moves.In Jurrasic World, a Dinosaur theme park, chaos is everywhere as there is blood everywhere which the genetically made monster Indomimus Rex is at the center of it.With guns, cars and the most destructive of weapeons fail to destroy the dinosaur.The chases and clashes there were fabolous.As they raced throught the forest they tried to hunt down the Dinosaur but nothing happened.It was an awesome movie with dinosaurs conquering the park, accidents, chaos was very well planned and it brought a gruesome effect to the movie because of the devastation and blood.Out of the whole movie,the last scene was the greatest as they were helpless but thought hard and brought the T-rex out of the cage and the raptors as they fought against the dinosaur.The last fight was amazing as the two giants fought.What a fight!The fight was fantastic and the T-rex got the victory after hitting and dighting and when the monster was down, the giant sea monster swallowed him in one gulp

Lotus Temple

I visited the magnificent Lotus temple as I saw the beautiful design and I was stunned by such great architecture.Looking similar to the Sydney Opera House in Australia, this a temple of the Bahai faith, who sense every religion as equal.Surrounded by vast green and clean gardens, the tremendous Lotus Temple shone over me.We climbed up to this heritage site barefoot and set foot inside the huge room which included many benches.We could sit anywhere and just pray.But it had to be silent-really silent!Just 5 tiny minutes allowed us to step away from the noise and be glued to our silence and prayers.Not ten minutes passed by, and after it felt soothing and relaxing in the peace and quiet.I hope my prayers will come true.The breath taking temple showed some great gardens, all neat with talk trees and colorful blooming flowers.And to add to the beauty, they also added in pools with crystal clear blue water but no swimming was prohibited.Once again, mystified by its beauty we set out of the Lotus temple, a truly astonishing piece of work.The visit was worthwile and I hope to come once again.We had a awesome time for sure!

Supreme Court

Where the most gruesome of crimes and the biggest of issues are there-the law is decided nowhere else but in the mighty Supreme Court.I went there to get my passport in place, but I ended up checking the Supreme Court.Being a watcher of many crime shows,that was the day when it came alive.I checked out the building and examined through many case files as I saw murders, property issues, frauds and many more.I also checked out a real courty with the witness box, the chairs and the judges.It just seemed great that I had walked in where all the major murders,frauds,issues and everything is solved here.As I walked around the room with a great deal of law and rights in the atmosphere, I stumbled across as few books which contained all the cases since 1969 or maybe even less.Those volumes containes the case and its events, and. How justice was brought to each of the cases in which the Judges make up their and decide.I saw lawyers. In their black suits walking by but the most amazing part was when I saw a real case happening with five judges, so it must have been an jmportant issue.The Supreme Court was fantastic and I was glad I had decided to explore the biggest judiciary system of India.

Vaishno Devi

Thursday was the big day when I visited the religious shrine which is a must for all Indians-Vaishno Devi.I climbed this tremendous thirteen kilometer hill and had my Darshan at the peak.When you climb it,you put all your fears aside.People from all around the world fill the hill with determination and strength as pilgrims,visitors and climbers come day and night to worship the three pindies symbolising Mata Durga's meditation.I started off on the morning, with each of us carrying sticks to help us walk steep heights.We walked for some time in the start but the blistering heat certainly got the better of us, so some of many horses helped us complete our journey. The views were breathtaking.As we reached the halfway point, we had a quick breakfast and set off again.As the horses went up and up,the road was not so steep anymore and we gave the horses a rest and walked.It was an uphill task.As we walked because of the sun we stopped by quite some times to refresh us with water and cold drinks.But we had to be quick, because there were a few monkeys wandering around,thirsty for our drinka as they already had stolen some.Our family finally reached the bhawan where we got refreshed as we took a quick bath and changed our clothes.We recieved Parshad and for the first time,I walked into a real cave where I saw the three rocks that we longed to spot.The walls were really cold and so was the water.It really was amazing!As we had a train to catch, we had to be swift so an auto gave us a boost to the halfway point from where we clung on to horses but going downhill was really uncomfortable and it pained and as we reached a down welet out a sigh of relief.And we walked the rest and we were out of the hill.What a mind blowing day it had been!Phew!

ADIOS,PYP!

I am graduating from Primary School(PYP) and in a few months time will be student of Grade 6, in Middle School(MYP). This is a poem to say Goodbye to Primary School.

Adios, Au Revoir, Freilos, So Long , PYP
It’s time to bid Goodbye
It’s been a swashbuckling journey
Ahead of us, a new horizon lies
We’re stepping into Middle School
 we’ll have new challenges, paths and rules
Learning and knowledge has swept our  minds
Seeds of leadership have been sowed inside
It’s been awesome from Grade 1 to 5
Multitude of  concepts jampacked in brains like a bee hive
Tough mathematical concepts, Science projects you name it
Reading and vocabulary, so much enrichment and wit
But Academics weren’t the only thing we did
Every piece was interesting, every little bit
Our Sports teachers taught us great techniques
In every sport, they helped fill the leaks
They refined us in every move
They motivated us, and flaws they removed
We’ve become stronger, fitter, faster because of them
Football, Cricket, swimming,Tennis, their help is a gem
In ICT, we’ve learnt programming and animations
We’ve made websites, powtoons and other great creations
We’ve learnt about famous artists, types of paintings in Art
Clay, abstract and paper mache is also a big part
We’ve learnt how to deftly play an instrument
We’ve danced and sang at big events
We’ve had fun n frolic at festivals like Diwali and Halloween
The journey, so much charismatic it’s been
We shouldered big responsibilities at Student Council
PYP Exhibition-The Grand Finale  ,Magnum Opus we pulled off uphill
The moulding of our persona  has been set
Our Casting is on anvil
We have fostered great friendships
Be it on the school campus or the field trips
The sense of Community has soaked our hearts
We are a closely knit family, we shall never drift apart
Primary school has been our step stool

Now let’s say Bonjour to Middle schoolmade websites, powtoons and other great creations
We’ve learnt about famous artists, types of paintings in Art
Clay, abstract and paper mache is also a big part
We’ve learnt how to deftly play an instrument
We’ve danced and sang at big events
We’ve had fun n frolic at festivals like Diwali and Halloween
The journey, so much charismatic it’s been
We shouldered big responsibilities at Student Council
PYP Exhibition-The Grand Finale  ,Magnum Opus we pulled off uphill
The moulding of our persona  has been set
Our Casting is on anvil
We have fostered great friendships
Be it on the school campus or the field trips
The sense of Community has soaked our hearts
We are a closely knit family, we shall never drift apart
Primary school has been our step stool

Now let’s say Bonjour to Middle school

My marvellous Mom

My mom, an avid reader, a book enthusiast
Amazed by her interest in novels, she reads them so fast!
A vocabulary that outwits all the people around
Jaws left open by a speech, that there is no sound
Remarkable in the concept of mathematics
Her English is perfect-no stutter, no static
Always the light to guide me to the right lane
How caring she is-it's just insane
Always knowledgeable with good choices
A priceless item, worth way more than 7 million Rolls-Royces
She buys me balls, cards, books, jerseys, games
She strives for perfection, no efforts go in vain
She is a thinker, always punctual with no delay
She is "the mother" in every single way
A happy person, chuckling all the time
Her knowledge is vast, amazing are her rhymes
A warm hearted,kind person,looks out for charity
Displays a whole lot of tolerance and integrity
She can make friends in no time
And social mom,present at get togethers and chatting online
You have been awesome, you've never let me down-never
You're the best mother-Keep this gift in your heart FOREVER!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Performance as Hitler

Culminating the final parts of PYP, we had reached a huge milestone to move on to Middle School-the PYP exhibition in which we chose burning issues close to    our heart, and researched on them.All our sweat and blood was split into three days.My issue was Peace and Conflict.We also presented a performance,and in that performance,I was a great evil to millions of people-Adolf Hitler.Being a man who was extremely mean and careless to the needs of others,I longed for power and nothing else.Being a man whose brain worked like nobody else's, one who was a homicidal maniac who looked forward to casualties and destruction.He was the German dictator who started the disastrous World War 2.I played his part in the performance,and at that time I though about nothing but greed for power and destroy anything that gets in the way.He was the leader of the Nazi party and their logo was the Swastika, a symbol copied from us Indians.People still get  offended by this logo.I was insensitive to other people,but I din't care at all if a million people starved to death.Food I didn't give them, I whipped them and I was as mean as mean can be.But I will never bring out that character in reality,because it can lead to deadly conflicts like World War 2.One man's thinking process caused 69.7 million deaths and mountains of destruction."Never was so much owed by so many to so few",said Winston Churchill.We hope to never start World War 3,or the Earth will surely become extinct.

Avengers:Age of Ultron

I just watched a totally awesome movie which I've been waiting for weeks.Packed with explosive action, the "marvel"lous movie was one very child should watch. The thrilling superheroes of Marvel helped this movie to be a stunning movie.Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Whiplash all played a part in making this movie up to the mark.With fighting and action like this,nobody can possibly resist this movie with what powers. The attacks and powers of the superheroes and villains were just purely fantastic.Filled with robots, special powers, high technology and so many interesting things, I have no doubt this movie will go high up on the charts.My jaw was left open as my eyes were glued to the screen as it is a must-watch movie, with all characters doing their part with their own defence, own style and powers, the fight for peace in the movie against mad robot Ultron was awesome as they devastated the evil Ultron and his army and saving the city from disasters.Each character had their unique special ability, and all of them were involved and they again had another thing in common-all of them were just staggering.It was just stupendous,who the defeated the antagonist by teamwork.Well,I salute to this action-packed movie and if you're watching you'll be awestruck.It's a thumbs-up for me, and I'm sure it'll be a thumbs up for you too!

Fantastic Fast and the Furious 7

When I first entered the theatre,I thought Fast and Furious 7 was going to be another overrated average movie.And get,this I think that was the worst decision I ever made in my life.Paul Walker's tragic death put a boulder in Fast and Furious, but the movie was stupendous.Action-packed,thrilling,jolting and funny,by far the best movie of 2015.The action mesmerised me, with awesome car stunts and other fights and so much more.Two Cs were the reason this stupefying movie succeeded.They were combat and cars.No Fast and the Furious would have been possible if it wasn't for the two Cs.Vin Diesel,with the leading role was amazing as always.Paul Walker also shone and the computer effects were great.The story was interesting, and for a few hours I was somewhere else,just shocked by the ultimate stunts and the extreme action.Other members of the team also played their roles wonderfully well.Action filmed on steep mountains,jumping from buildings left my mouth stranded open as I salute the stunt director for such great stunts.The fights were also great.They used great cars and they looked amazing and were a big chunk of the movie.Not one part looks incomplete as the story in F&F was one of a kind.Dwayne Johnson a.k.a the Rock also did great as a cop.No movie has any chance in front of this film.The movie was dedicated to Paul Walker,who died in a car accident.If you're looking for an action-filled interesting movie,think no more.Choose Fast and the Furious 7.It's the best.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Daredevils

IPL fever is on,and I have caught it and it's extremely communicable.On 12th,I was in another world,a cricket world.On Sunday, me and my friends went to an IPL game-Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals.A live match always is awesome.The contagious trend seemed most realistic in the Delhi Daredevils stadium Ferozshah Kotlah.We reached somewhere around 3,as we saw the players practicing.We were sitting in the East stand,as we had a direct view of Steve Smith,the Australian batsman who devastated India in the World Cup semi-finals.I also saw other Rajasthani greats like the destructive James Faulkner, centurion Ajinkya Rahane,and New Zealand bowler Tim Southee.I was supporting Delhi in this match and also had Delhi painted on my face.Delhi were batting first,as the openers Mayank Agarwal and Shreyas Iyer played a good innings as they made 37 and 40 respectively.In the first 10 overs, they were 84-1.JP Duminy also hit a good 43*.As the second wicket fell,cancer hero Yuvraj Singh made 27, followed by Angelo Mathews who also made the same 
score.They scored 100 in the last ten overs,and concluded with 184-3.I was enjoying my visit to the Ferozshah Kotlah, as the nail-biting match looked great in reality,not on TV.The royals' openers were Rahane and Samson.RAhane made close to a half-century,as he made 47.Rajasthan were playing well,and I believe the most impactful player was Deepak Hooda,who made 54.Angelo Mathews and Amit Mishra were also bowling good.In an atmosphere filled with cheering and suspense,we came to the end where RR needed 3 runs of the last ball.Angelo Mathews bowled and Tim Southee at the crease smashed a four and the close match ended.Once again,Delhi lost not by big margins as they lost by a run to Chennai and in this match,just a four on the last ball.I enjoyed my visit to the Ferozshah Kotlah,watching an extremely close match and I wish to come again.It has a great feeling when you're in the stadium,watching a live match!

My Xtraordinary Xbox

I have just got an xbox for my birthday gift.This gaming console is a mesmerising gift.It is easy to play and setup Xbox one.The Xbox is a stunning product by Microsoft as they have designed it to be easy to play, great graphics and a interesting desktop.When I played for the first time on Xbox,I played Fifa 15, my favourite game.As I am a big fan of it on the iPad, but this was totally different.I was shocked by how great the graphics were and the sophisticated and smooth controls.The controller is attractive and also easy to handle.As the Xbox loads fast,all you have to do is gently turn your Xbox on,go on the desktop and choose your game.Some interesting features in this as the gameplay doesn't lag and is refined,the desktop looks cool,you can change your gamer tag anytime and you have an option of choosing more than one game.If I were to compare PS4 and Xbox one, I would definitely go for the xbox as it is more modern and has better graphics.These days you have a variety of games for the Xbox one,and all games are fun on the Xbox.If you haven't given this console a try,I would surely recommend to play this.I think in this case Microsoft have gotten the better of Sony this time,but you never know.The PS5 might give you a jolt.I think this is a great console,and also name it product of the year 2015!

My bashing Birthday party

On the 21st of March,I had the grandest of parties that I have ever been to or held.There was fun as much as you could never imagine.Guests started rolling in at 4.The sun was shining brilliantly,and it was sweltering.At 4:30,most of the guests had arrived and gifts were piling up.We played on the bouncy.We jumped, dived, fell and had an awesome time.Then we got into the games,which were splendid.We played interesting games like limbo,in out and more,but no party is complete without a soccer match.So we took the football,and played and played.We kicked, dived, slid and more.Everyone's adrenaline was high as were having so much fun.We made up our own games,did whatever we wanted,and if you rate this party on a scale from one to ten, it would be eleven.Never on any day have I played and enjoyed so much.After the soccer match,we all needed some energy to pump us up.We were starving,and food was the fuel that would power us.After a scrumptious xbox cake, we gobbled up the lip-licking dishes they had made.After we had our food,we were back into games and sports,and it was mind- blowing.We jumped,pulled pushed ran and oh god,what great fun.As the sun set,and darkness started pouring in,the guests went one by one.Some of my close friends and cousins still kept on playing,and it was amazing.In a period of 3 and a half hours,I had mire fun than I had in three months.I want the exact same party next year!Its just stunning!

The world of colors and water-Holi

My favourite festival-Holi had finally approached,which had surely been worth waiting for.The party started at 7:30 as I started making water balloons and filled up my water pistol's tank with water.At 8,it was ready,and I called my friends and we reached our fountain area filled with water and started to play.After an hour we went back to fill some more water balloons and played in my lawn.We went back,when more crowd had come to celebrate this great festival.We split up into two teams,amd all hell broke loose as our team threw balloons with pinpoint accuracy,as they fired with their waterguns.We sneaked in to their territory,fired as they filled buckets and threw them on us.We had great fun as we splashed ran slid,fell in the water,enjoying as much as we could.After gathering more people and filling up more balloons we went to enjoy with colours and water after most of our society showed up,as the water in the fountain turned purple to orange,orange to green,green to pink,pink to yellow,and yellow to blue.We took cover after firing and threw mugs and buckets of water on almost everyone there.It was great fun with my cousins and friends as we dictated  the others and became more powerful than than most of the society people.I enjoyed and enjoyed and I couldn't stop having fun.It was totally mind-blowing as March's start is certainly good after camps and Holi.So I hppe this doesn't stop and March turns out to be the best month of 2015!

Into the wild-the Jim Corbett school adventure

This day of the year had finally arrived which was worth waiting for.This actually might be the most memorable event of 2015.Adrenaline was pumping inside my body as I was super-excited for this event-School camps to the amazing Jim Corbett!On 27 february,I woke up at 3:15 am and reached Leisure valley at 4 am.It was dark and cold,as Grade 5 slowly boarded the buses.At 5 in the morning,the ride began.We stopped at mcdonalds for lunch at 9.We continued our journey and reached near a forest.The buses couldn't go throught the forest so we took jeeps through the forest as we splashed mud and water,saw birds and animals and reached the campsite,Kyari corbett resort.We gobbled our lunch and peeked at our cottages,where the different groups would be staying.Grade 5 got divided into 3 groups for activities.On the first day,we went for a nature walk and saw the village,what trees were there,what the villagers ate and more beauty of the nature there.After that we reached the campsite,had some snacks,and had a bonfire in the night.On day 2,we woke up at 5:30 and walked and trekked to a very rocky place with beauty surrounding it,as we watched the sun rise from behind the mountains.You can't imagine how beautiful a sight that was.We also spotted tiger and deer footprints. After light and brightness started pouring in,we played a few games and walked back to our campsite.After breakfast,we went to a canal where we would be body surfing.We had to wear a life jacket,lie down in the freezing cold water and go 400 meters and body surf in the water through rapids and turns.Though the water was extremely cold,it was the most enjoyable activity I encountered throughout the camp.After this great activity,we went back for lunch.After having a hearty meal,we went for ziplining.For going to zipline,we had to pass narrow pathways made of stone by the britishers,where there was a canal on your rught and a huge drop on your left.As we crossed these thin pathways,we reached at last and got ready for ziplining,where we climbed a hill,wore equipment and traveled above the river,as we wore a harness connected to the rope we used to reach the hill opposite of us.It was great,and it was a beautiful soght from anove.After ziplining,we took a dip in the river,and played and splashed with the water.After that,we used guns to shoot targets.We had a bonfire in the night and dinner.We woke up at 5 the next morning,where it was raining,and we had to wear our raincoats.We sat in a jeep with some other students,and we Went insided the the real Jim Corbett and deep in the forest where we spotted a tiger,deer,leopard,monkey,birds,owl,jackals,baby elephant.Also interesting,we reached a temple near where Sita had given birth to her children Luv Kush.Later on,we went for a trek but couldn't spot animals because of the rain,but we did find a deer skull.After thate,we just cleaned our cottage,packed our bags and slept.We woke up at 6,and got ready to go back home.We left at 8:30 and reached home sweet home at 5:45 pm.This was probably the best adventure I ever had,amd certainly the best camp I've been to.It was one unforgettable adventure,this awesome camp Jim Corbett.Anyone going there will have guaranteed fun and surely will enjoy his stay!

Music

Music is one element nobody can live without
Guitar,drums,piano and more is what it's all about
In the ipod or blaring from a boombox
Anytime,anywhere,music totally rocks
The sound of that chord,and the bang of that drum
Makes you wanna sing along and hum
The world plugging in the headphones
Dancing to it,or listening alone
Music is one art that cannot be beat
Waves flow,we sing and the birds tweet
When words fail music speaks
It has been there since the ancient greeks
Sometimes music is the only medicine the heart and soul need
It travels to you and changes your mood with such speed
It gives a magical effect
It is the one thing in which there can be no defect
Clasical,hip hop,pop or rock
In your head songs are locked
Music is the rhythm of life
Even can make fellow plants survive
It creates peace and relaxation
It is the charm of life and the flight to imagination

My sister's birthday was celebrated with super extra boom boom pomp and show,and this first-class party went on to be a success.I interpreted it as a mini-wedding.There were many guests,all longing to look at the queen of the party,my sister.She turned 1 on 1st February,and pomp and show is necessary when it comes to an event like this.Our party was held in a banquet hall under Bikarnevala and had amazing decoration.Balloons,banners,ribbons colourfully made the place look like it was a canvas with the artist painting with only bright colors.My sister had a huge silky dress with flowers on it,being the stand out person in the hall.All family members were dressed in their dashing and dazzling best.Us kids ran and played games for most of the time.There were posters too saying things about my baby sister.The party was great,music,chattering,food,drinks all elements making an amazing combinantion in making the party grow.Guest came and chatted and ate,met Saffy had fun and went.Then,just before food we had made a little movie on Saffron from her birth to her first birthday.We wrote about her trips,get togethers,smiles,occasions,festivals and more events with my poem,Sly Saffron.It was quite a day for all of us,especially for Saffy,being the center of the party,getting photos taken with hundreds of people.All the guests hung out including the family,and had fun like anything in this world.It was our family who were the hosts and who made this party awesome.After that we ripped open hundreds of gifts.It was a day that nobody will forget.We have fun at other parties,but this was just something else.

Monk

Adrian Monk is a former homicide detective,who now works as a consultant for the SFPD.He has a ton of fears and wants everything to be perfect,symmetrical and clean.He works with his assistant Sharona,Lieutenant Randy and Captain Stottlemeyer.This show is a must watch,with great mysteries and murders with humor included.5 stars is an understatement for this show.You might as well call it 5.5 out of 5.Any TV with Star world in it,get ready to be hooked to a great show.It should be a chart topper.Tony Shalhoub(Adrian Monk)'s acting is absolutely wonderful and think he deserves boatloads of Emmys.The part that makes the show most interesting is when you start to laugh and when Monk solves the cases.The signature tune for Monk when the episode starts is a great song.It's a jungle out there is the title.Monk is a show that you will never miss an episode once you watch even half an episode,you'll see how intriguing it îs.I love the show,one of the best mystery tv series ever.

Lohri,the sizzling festival

Yesterday was my sister's first Lohri,and it is considered a majestic celebration for us Punjabis.Yesterday we invited our family members to come join in the great festival.We danced and circled the bonfire while throwing popcorn and sweets at the fire.As we enjoyed the day,I played with my cousins and family rejoicing on this fantastic festival.We couldn't help it but notice that my baby sister Saffron was also joining in the celebration as she started dancing with instruments and songs accompanying her.As we sung songs in Punjabi,This great day was one I would never forget.After the dancing near the fire we went to dine in two fine restaurants-Bikarnevala and Dominos.As we dug in to our scrumptious food,we talked and laughed and it felt great once again to be with my family.I enjoyed talking to them as it isn't always boring when you have guests.We had an amazing time and I wish we could have this festival every month and I would be extremely grateful if the stunning festival is celebrated more than once in a whole year.Fun is mandatory in these kinds of get-togethers.This festival was just awesome.It was a great way to end my holidays.Well,let's hope for an increae to this great,great,great festival.I enjoyed it all the time,right from the moment when the guests first arrived.

My top 5 Football players


1)Cristiano Ronaldo(Real Madrid and Portugal)-The Portugese hero is a player that is way better than anyone else on the pitch.The Real Madrid and former Manchester United star is a Football King.He is the heart and backbone of Real Madrid.The tall footballer is a magical free kick taker,with all spectators bedazzled by his performance in the stadium.He pulls of cheeky tricks and nutmegs making defenders look like fools.His shots are spectacular,with amazingly high power and great accuracy.He is also blisteringly fast,CR7 is the best footballer alive on Earth.

2)Gareth Bale(Real Madrid and Wales)-The slim goal generator has the record breaking transfer form Tottenham to Real Madrid,a staggering 86 million pounds.His long shots are amazing.They're like speeding missiles to the keeper.The goalie looks like the Statue of liberty,standing right there as the ball flies into the goal.Gareth Bale is the fastest player I have ever seen.His goal against Barcelona,and the way he left the dedender like a tortoise was mind-blowing.

3)Thomas Muller(Bayern Munich and Germany)-The midfielder from Deustchland is awesome in World   cups.He was the top scorer last world cup and the 2nd top scorer this World Cup.I am amazed by his goals and assists.He has had a terrific year in 2014,with great performance both for Bayern Munich and Germany.Muller is extremely useful for both the teams.

4)Robin Van Persie-(Manchester United and Netherlands)The striker is a threat to defenders.Whenever he pulls back his left foot,there is sure to be a movement in the back of the net.Van Persie airlines in Brazil 2014 were a hit.His diving header was a goal which left everybody's jaw hanging open.The Man United star is a truly amazing player.

5)Manuel Neuer(Bayern Munich and Germany)-The best keeper in the world claims fifth position.His saves are shocking.Even the best of shots are a piece of cake for him.The sweeper keeper was one of the main players in Germany's world cup team.He can save long shots,chips,close shots and any other shot once he's in form.
