This is neither summer nor winter A very unpleasant part of the year, As examinations are near. Examination fever is upper most, Changing each student into a burnt toast. What to read, what to write, It is a horrible life. Chemistry is a mystery, Mathematics solutions, forced me to join tuitions. Julius Caesar is like my own assassination, Biology and physics is a fool’s creation. In History and geography, everything is topsy tury. I am in a confused state of mind, Oh, teachers please be kind. — Shubham Harish Class IX-C, St. Joseph’s Convent School, Ferozepore Mastering maths Eighty per cent people in the world Fear the word, "mathematics". One, two, three, four, I always confuse it for, Plus, minus, divide and multiply. When I do this, My mind says "bye-bye", Integral, decimal, simplification, Produce high tension. Interest, percentage, loss and gain, Gives my brain a pain. — Anuj Kumar, Class-IX, Shivalik Bharti Sr Sec School, Dera Bassi I wish... I wish to be a bird, So that there are no boundaries. I wish to be a river, So that my flow is never stopped. I wish to be a part of air, So that I am essential for everyone. I wish to be a flower, So that I am something special. I wish to be a cloud, So that I am waited by everyone. I wish to be a sky, So that I am only seen but never reached. I wish to be the morning sun, So that I can give relief and fun. But I have seen, I never wished to be a human being. — Rajinder Singh Sidhu, Class X, Dasmesh Public School, Kotkapura This feature was published on March 5, 2004 |
