Spooktactular Halloween

Today we celebrated Halloween,the ancient Samhain holiday.We kicked off this spine-chilling holiday with a PowerPoint Presentation on how Halloween is celebrated,and the history of this frightful festival.A few students also played Hedwig's theme on the guitar(the Harry Potter theme ).Then we had a parade,with the whole school.It was interesting to see ghouls,goblins,skeletons,zombies,vampires,witches and other unique dreadful characters.Some students got goosebumps looking at the terrifying creatures lurking there,as some overcame their fears.as pumpkins,witches and bats hung in the atrium,it was obvious that people would get a shock looking at those decorations with other hair-raising characters around you.Teachers also dressed up.After all,who doesn't like Halloween.There's nothing like dressing up,scaring others to make them get the fright of their lives.Boy,the school was in a different shape,quite the opposite of a mirror reflection of normal days.And this wasn't it.The Student Council had organized a haunted house to bring up the mood of Halloween even more.Spooky creatures popping out and scaring you,with blood all over the ground,and also pretending to dead and removing organs.I'll say only fearless persons would have dared to walk in there .Then I came home.There it was scary too.Trick or Treating was a good time.When someone wouldn't give us those scrumptious sweets,we would hang a sign on their door saying'Death is only the beginning'.We also scared kids,which made them go crying to their Mamas.It was a classic Halloween,with the chill of the festival in the air.We also got stuck in a lift.Boy,

I won't say you could pass through our colony in a breeze.You would be getting scared by ghouls popping out from nowhere,or get rampaged on by skeletons demanding candy.This was one of the best days in this year,but a spooktactular one.May luck be yours on Halloween!

Electric guitar

The electric guitar,in my opinion is the best instrument ever
If it wasn't there,I wouldn't put on my headphones-never
It's tough to master
Without it,bands would be a complete disaster
It has a vast range of sounds and tones
One reason,why there are thousands of songs on smartphones
It might be the foundation of amazing sound
Once you see it in a concert,it's hard to turn around
The combination of it,drums and the vocals is mind-blowing
A huge chunk of why the music industry is growing
It feels amazing,playing the beautiful strings
While one bangs on the snare,and one sings
Connect it to an amplifier
If I get the hang of it,I would never retire
No electric guitar,the band's in a black hole
It's a need for some classic rock and roll
This magical instrument is usually the star in many songs
If it's there,the music will have no wrongs
Crank it up to insane mode
Play it on the side of a road
The next day,the street would be crowded
Without it,most bands would sound like they're clouded
Just remember a thing
The instrument takes a band from zero to hero

Nobel peace prize

This time the Nobel peace prize was won by two people.One of them was Malala,and the other Kailash  Satyarthi.Both of them come from the same reigon.Pakistan is very near to us,and Malala is from there.Malala is a teen who fights for the girl child,and was almost killed two years ago.Kailash Satyarthi is the head of a NGO,called Bachpan Bachao Andolan.This NGO is totally against child labour.Malala is very young,but I still think she deserves the honour.As for Bachpan Bachao Andolan,it's a NGO started in the 1980s,and has now saved over 80000 children from servitude.The stated vision of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) is to create a child friendly society, where all children are free from exploitation and receive free and quality education.I think both the winners are doing a great job,and are contenders in making Earth a better place.The Nobel Peace Prize isn't just a normal award.It goes to people who really have done a great job,and are very capable of being role models for the globe.Boy,wouldn't it feel awesome to get these results.But I don't even like to hear these two words in the same sentence.Child and Labour.It would be an awful life,if you ended up burning your hands while making crackers for Diwali,and see the bosses(adults) sit like a couch potato.Sends down shivers down my skins,thinking about me being in place of the unpriveleged kids.So hats off to Kailash Satyarthi for support and creating awareness about this cause!

Partitioning Places

In today's world lots of places are trying to be divided from some place.I'm gonna tell you about two of them which are Scotland, and Catalonia. Let's start off with the most recent one,Scotland.Scotland's target was to no longer stay in UK.It was a close call,but they failed to get out of the United Kingdom.People who wanted Scotland to be independent were 45%.If 6% more people from Scotland would have taken this side,the Kilt and Bagpipes would no longer be seen so commonly.Though I felt only three countries would be there in UK-Wales,Ireland and England though it turned out my point of view was wrong.The Scots are back to square one.It truly was a nail biting election,with such a close call.Now over to Catalonia.Catalonia is a region in Spain which consists of Barcelona,one of the most popular cities in Spain.Catalonia wants to be independent from Spain.Now if you ask me why,they have a different culture, different language and independent nature.Catalonia has never felt to be a part of Spain.The fact that every region of Spain has a different culture, and a couple of others have different languages, seems irrelevant, as does the fact that the region has been part of Spain since before it was Spain! But there is a good thing too.Barcelona would no longer be a part of the La liga(Spanish League),and my favourite team Real Madrid would no longer struggle in the match vs Barca.They'll be as cool as a cucumber because they wouldn't have to be so tired in training.And that also may mean a free ticket to the top of the table,and holding the cup.Well,let's see.On November 9 they'll discuss this issue,which is only a month away.Let's hope for the verdict to be Catalonia another addition in Europe!

Mirages

Mirages are one of the puzzling mysteries on Earth.Have you ever seen one?They're not common in Gurgaon,but you'll be unable to count them in Dubai.Traveling normally,and suddenly you can see water in front of you.By the time you reach it,it vanishes.Sometimes it makes me thirsty,when there's no water in the car.But it's all the sun's fault.To be more specific,the reflection of the sun.Your reflection in the mirror when you're wearing the latest clothes might seem good,but not when there's not a bottle in the car,it makes my kinda thirsty.In hot places,you'll find about ten of them in two minutes.And it's not only water,other objects too.Seems like the Bermuda Triangle's younger brothers are Mirages.In a way,they might be related.I had forgotten about them until I went to UAE this summer.If ther were so many on the roads there,imagine how mamy would you find in a minute in the scorching Sahara Desert.Mirages do not help us in conserving energy.Think you haven't drunk water for ages,and you're tired of finding an oasis in the desert.Then suddenly you light up like a Christmas tree,and start running at your fastest pace.You reach close,and then there's only some sand and a cactus.It may get on your nerves,but you gotta get used to it in sweltering places.Mirages do sometimes make me look up to the sky,in which I check for a UFO which is controlling the mirages and playing a little game with us,but most of the time I fail to succeed in finding the source of these strange appearances.Well,I'm gonna investigate further and deeper into this interesting subject!

Life-changing 40 days

Since we are the seniormost class in the whole Primary,that means some of us get elected in the student council.I got elected and I am the Head Boy.Now I can't do anything wrong.I have to become a role model for other students.This a huge milestone in my life.These days I have to miss some periods for extra responsibilities.We also organise several events.Our badge is a thing we can never lose.It displays our pride and signifance of being Student Council.We have to check for bad behaviour in snacks.In lunch,we also check if everone's plate is clean.The day I got elected was one of the best days in my life.But this also means being good to each other,being honest and simulating a great student.In the fourth grade,I played outside for so much time.These days sometimes I come home tired because of extra work.The playing has now been reduced because of this.Though it may result in missing classes and doing extra homework,it also feels nice to be a member of the Student Council.Sometimes I don't have even time for taking a breath,especially with great changes in Grade 5.But you have to live with it.But it hasn't even been two months.Maybe in a month or so,our roles and responsibilities might double.And it wouldn't be a piece of cake.Or neither it is currently.This year is not gonna turn out for us to be hanging around,talking or goofing.I guess bigger jobs come with bigger responsibilities.Be prepared.

Cultures

People are similar and different at the same time

The world is like box of crayons

You should accept others the way they are

Even though people have their own pros and cons

There are brown people,black,yellow and white

Well,that dosen't matter

Eyecolor and haircolor might differ

But from the inside,everyone's same,no one better

Gods can be different

People might be noisy,or may be quiet

Festivals can be exciting and dreary

But there's no need to create a riot
Racism is no way helping the world
Who knows wars might begin
A leopard can't change it's spots,people are the way they are
You don't know how you might change a feeling
Skincolor's not gonna kill you
Black or White
No jealousy
Everything's all right
Peace is the best way of developing the globe
The meanest insult is racism,the only solution peace
You're yellow or white,you're wearing Louis Vuitton or a red robe
The biggest thing that matters is the heart

You might see funny clothing

Or bonkers traditions

Folk stories might be boring

But the world is one,no need to create diversions

Accents may not be the same

People might eat a rasgulla or meat

But we're all in the same boat

When we're all together,the picture is complete!
