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!

Kingdom of Dreams

Today I visited the Kingdom of Dreams on my Dad's birthday.I went to the Culture Gully.It was totally stupefying,I say.With the roof exactly like the sky,I was already sure it was gonna turn out great.Culture Gully comprises of several Indian states's pavilions cum restuaurants.It is like a culinary journey with kaleidoscope in hand.First was Punjab.There was a truck displayed and a dhaba.There were kites,mud walls and lanterns.For a moment I thought I was standing in Punjabi soil.

Then I visited West Bengal.There was the famous Chinatown market.Inside was a restaurant in which all the food in the menu was the one that was in the Chinatown market.There was also a Kali Ma's huge mask.

Now I'll tell you about Maharashtra.There was the famous clock tower built by the British.There were billboards about classic movies,expressing one point of interest,Bollywood.There was also a Mumbai local bus.And a popular public transport for 

Maharashtra,local train.

Kashmir had special carpets and chairs,which looked as the finest in their class because they looked exceedingly comfy.

Rajasthan was different from the rest.There was a Chowkidhani,and low seats which looked as the odd one out,but my favourite of the all.Don't forget the puppets,which looked like were being controlled by a master.

Kerala was stunning too.It had been made into a houseboat,since it's in the South with lots of water.Surely the architects who made this place would have a brain twice the size of us,I think.

Lucknow looked the most majestic of all.With glorious chandeliers and awesome lighting,this was by far,the best of all.It was probably so good because of the Nawabs who lived there.

Goa was looking really bright.Inside the restaurant,there was a mind-blowing design with bottles thought the menu was filled with items which I thought were from the Andromeda galaxy.

Chennai looked colourful too.There were really intricate and detailed 
designs,and looked perfectly up to the mark.

Karnataka also had detailing with every point being done carefully but surely wasn't as appealing as Chennai since it looked dull with no bright colours but lots of elephants' designs thrown in.

I could see the famous Sun Temple of Konarka came out alive in the Orissa pavilion.

I enjoyed listening to the folk music of Rajasthan and watching the Bihu dance of Assam.

I wrapped up the visit by relishing some lip-licking treats from different states

I was surely dazzled strolling through  the Culture Gully. Now it is your turn to step in!!

AN ODE TO PUNJABIYAT

The Land of five rivers-Ravi,Beas,Sutlej,Jhelum and Chenab
I am a proud Punjabi,I hail from Prosperous Punjab
Sikhism and Sufism owe to Punjab as their birthplace
We bow before the Gurus and worship Durga,Ram,Vishnu and Mahesh
For fun,pomp and show and gaiety we shout
Celebrations and Living life kingsize is what we are about
The Indian bread basket is Punjab,our state
Agriculture is prime and leaders in industrial goods we create
I am so proud I have Punjabi ethnicity
Its soil has Takshila,the world's first known University
Our Punjabi literature is filled with gems
Works of Waaris Shah and Jnanpith Winner Amrita Pritam overwhelms
Qissa of Heer Ranjha,Mirza Saahiba ,Sohni Mahiwal are world famous
Our unique feature is that we are hopelessly gregarious
We love celebrating new year Baisakhi,Lohri and Holi
Fasting on Karwa Chauth,we adore Rakhi,Dussehra ,Diwali truly
Abound with folk songs like kaala Doriya and Latthhe di Chaadar,
Foot tapping Boliyan,Gidda and Bhangra is a wonder
Our traditional fashion is Kurta,Lungi and Salwar Kameez
Embroidery of Phulkari patterns on dupattas is a breeze
Culinary treats of Gajar halwa,Sarson Saag ,Makke di Roti,dollops of Ghee
Everyday meals Rajma Chawal,Chhole Bhature ,Paranthas and Lassi
The community Saanjha Chulha,dining together with family and friends,
A feature most unique to Punjabis,I vow to follow this trend
I am a proud Punjabi and so are some of my mates
Its amazing Pakistani and Indian Punjabis are like duplicates
If anything great comes about Punjab,I shall support it
I shall always be a true blue Punjabi,don't you doubt a bit!!

Student council elections 2014-15

Student council elections were held yesterday.The first category was head boy and I was one out of the two nominees.I spoke a short and crisp speech.Then I  kept on tingling and couldn't even wait a minute for the results.Being the Head Boy of the primary was a dazzling dream come true.The other categories were Head girl and House Captains.Then the results came……..The first category was Head Boy,so the first result was the Head Boy.Our principal announced -The Head Boy is-(I could feel lots of sweat pouring on me) Sssssss.Our principal hadn't finished but my name starts with S and the other nominee's doesn't.I felt like jumping but I realised I was in school.But I still felt I was in seventh heaven.Then she said 'Satyakam' and I walked up to the stage with so much happiness that I thought I might burst.Believe me,I feel honoured to be the Head Boy as much as I could be knighted by the Queen.It is a huge responsibility,but I think my shoulders can lift it,and I hope I become one of the best Head Boy ever in our school.At my first day as Head boy,I became the MC for the Independence Day programme.So I'm looking forward to being a Head Boy.So,wish me luck!

 

Ferrari World

I'm back from a trip to Dubai and first I'm gonna tell you about my trip to Ferrari World.First of all,Ferrari world was in Abu Dhabi,which is a two hour drive from here.Ferrari world is a humongous park.First of all,I saw real Ferraris.Old ones,new ones and F1 cars.But the Ferrari 458 Italia looked stunning to me.It is a new one.With a V8 engine,it looked gorgeous.But then I saw the Formula Rossa,the fastest roller coaster in the world.It looked terrifying to me.But then I thought if I had done the coaster,50% of the park would already be done.It looked bone-chilling. But then I had to do it.We waited for 10 minutes and then went on.We had to put on a tight seatbelt,put on goggles and almost glue our head to the seat or otherwise it would result in serious injury.And then we took of like a rocket.It was simply brutal acceleration.It was going so fast for a moment thought my head would snap.I held on as tightly as I could.The coaster was extraordinary.I did ride a small F1 car around a small track.It was fun,but the car was terribly slow.Then I watched a 4D movie about Ferrari and Italy.The effects were great.I also drove a remote control Ferrari on a track.Then we saw a spectacular acrobatic show with great tricks called 'red'.Then I had lunch and then played games.In the end ,I went on another roller coaster but it was nowhere near to the Formula Rossa.It was slower and not so scary and we didn't have to wear gogles.Out of all the rides,the Formula Rossa was the best.But I can say,The trip to Ferrari world was a success.It surely was a memorable event.

World Cup 2014 match 64:The Grand Finale

Germany vs Argentina.Clash of the giants.This is the third time they meet in the final.This was Germany's eighth final.It was Messi vs Muller.I support Germany.So I was awake at 12:30 in the morning to watch the final.And I did watch it.It was something that I couldn't miss.And it starts.Higuain scored in the 30th minute and started celebrating but it turned out to be an offside.He also missed a great chase that was headed from Schweinsteiger but Higuain shot it wide.It seemed as Higuain was the sensation of the day.Two chances that made Argentineans scream extremely happily but then came back to normal.And then,with a corner from Toni Kroos,Howedes headed it onto the pole.And then halftime was over.Germany-nil,Argentina-nil.Then in the second half Aguero came on and played rough,getting a yellow card.Mario Goetze came on too.But it was still goalless.Now the only time left to make an effort was extra time or it goes into penalty shootout.Rodrigo Palacio chips it over Neuer,but it goes wide.The first extra time half is over.It's the second half left.But in the 113th minute,it's a amazing moment for the Germans.Schurrle crosses it,Mario Goetze traps it with his chest and volleys it into the side of the net.He was about to be the most talked about footballer and I think he will.In stoppage time,Argentina have a free kick and everyone's counting on Messi.He as such a big weight on his shoulders.He shoots it above the net.And after that,It's history for Deutschland.Germany have their fourth title thanks to Mario Goetze who came on as a substitute.The German chancellor is ecstatic.The crowd goes wild.Philipp Lahm receives the trophy and holds it.Manuel Neuer,the German keeper gets the golden glove and Messi gets the Golden ball.He might actually be the saddest footballer to receive an award.But It's the Germans who're as happy as they could ever be.At last,the awkward tournament comes to an end with the record for the most goals with 171,tying with France 1998.

Brazil vs Germany

Germany vs Brazil was one of the best and most awkward match in my lifetime.I was cheering for Germany and hoping for a 2-1 win.But my guess was way wrong.The score was a super 7-1 win by Germany.It was a match that made all the 200,000 million Brazilians cry their eyeballs off.Muller helped the Germans take the lead with his 5th goal of the tournament.The Deutsch made it 2-0 with Miroslav Klose,his second goal in the 23rd minute.He is now the top scorer in the World Cup with his 16th goal,one ahead of the Brazilian Ronaldo.Kroos got his first in the next minute,making it 3-0 for the Germans.Then Kroos got his second in the match,making it 4-0.By the time it was 4-0,all the spectators were bawling.Then Khedira made it 5-0.The Germans surely were having a good day.4 goals were scored in the 20-30 minutes.The first half ended with Germany taking the lead by 5 goals.Schurrle scored in the 69th minute and scored ten minutes later with a shot that his the crossbar and into the net.The Germans were 7 goals ahead.Victory was theirs.Nothing could be done about it now.The Brazilians just scored one in the last minute with Oscar shooting it above the keeper.The Brazilian coach said,it was the worst day of my life.Germany are the first finalists.
