If I were a minister, I would be signing papers and registers. No difficulty to face, And with all the time to waste — Giving interviews on TV, Sometime on Sony, sometimes on DD, Reading the newspaper And looking for my name In various scandals and scams, Taking bribes and giving licenses For illegal purposes, Celebrating weekends Throughout the week Instead of working for the poor and the weak. I would pray to God. Never make me a minister.
— Ankur Goyal, Class VI
B, Kalpana Chawla Her name meant a dream, a fantasy, Something difficult to attain. She endured the strong opposition To attain her aim. For her, the whole universe was her native land; She wanted to travel beyond the blue yonder And come back and land. She wanted to touch the stars and make her nation proud But ah! The irony of fate; All these dreams dissipated like a cloud. Her space endeavour could have been fabulous But she herself became one of the seven new stars over Texas. This was the end of another great legend Who will serve as my model till the end. Wishing all a great journey, she left; India needs stars like Dr. Chawla, I want to be the next! — Garima Jain, Class IX
A,
News As it is important for you to listen to your father’s views, It is equally important to read the news. To know news, newspapers are our best companions. They tell everything about foreigners and Indians. News should be read without any fail, If thers’s bad news our faces turn pale. For news, the best newspaper is The Tribune, It has every news and every tune. Reading news is not a bad hobby, We get information even about filmstars like Sunil and Bobby. — Ashima Garg, Class VI
