How is it up there?

Image
I'm a little bird, I can view the big world! I can sing, I can dance, I can fly, Near your door, on the trees, in the sky, Oh so high, in the brilliant blue sky! In the rain, I go to my nest, Give food to the chicks, then we rest. East or west, wherever I go, I cut through the breezy winds that blow. When the days are stormy,  We hide in our cozy roost,   The fear is up, then the winds halt,  And our horror reduced! Ups and downs for us too,  But we don't sadden, just continue. We're a pretty family,  We sing for people in the dawn, As the day goes by, my chicks play in the lawn. By the time it's dusk,  I gather all the husk. It's fun to flutter and flap in flight, In the nightfall, I hug my chicks so tight! The twilight lullabies,  It's a sweet, quiet evening, A tiring day, yet the beauty is matchless, The silvery moon kisses the world in stress. I gaze at the stars, it's a paradise,  With the sunsets and the sunrise! Away from the hustle,...

Student to Mentor!!!

Image
    It has always been my dream to teach. In early childhood, I tried acting like my teachers, I had blackboards at home on which I wrote and taught nobody else but myself, or sometimes I played this with my friends, as most children do when they start going to school. But my dream of teaching was not so finite, which ended with age. I wanted to teach children, share the little knowledge that I had, especially with the ones who had limited sources. By now you must have understood! Yes, I'm going to talk about my journey in the field of Social Work.     How about being a teacher in reality? Somewhat similar, I started with it. Alt hough I had little experience since I have always been teaching my brother, but b eing a 9th grader, I had no idea how things would work in such an organization! "Everything has its first time"... But of course nothing was possible without guidance. A session was conducted explaining how we were going to work and we began. I started mak...

Social Work

Image
    Contributing to the society, being socially useful helps us in all aspects of life. We learn to be compassionate to others, alleviate someone’s problem, in short, we learn to put ourselves in the other person’s shoe and   help and guide them properly. Social work flourishes our personality and brings about an overall change in the person which actually shapes one into a true human being, who is responsible and realizes the importance of working for the society. I have also kept myself engaged in social work as I feel it is really important for me as a responsible citizen of my country to contribute as much as I can for its well being. I always like to lend a helping hand, but to start with it professionally, I began to teach unprivileged children of standard 8, 9 and 10 from CBSE board. I am working with the organization, 'Tribes forGOOD'. We were informed about the topics that we had to teach them and  according to that, I prepared the PPT (Power Point Presenta...

What All I Do These Days?

     I am finally done with my exams and now it's time to celebrate! Yes, it is definitely time to celebrate since festive season is going on, a season full of joy and merriment! I totally love it! My exams got over on 22nd October, so it's not very recent but my vacation is ongoing so, I'm really ecstatic.  I was inundated with so much work which included my classes, school work, homework, co-curricular activities and everything, since I am in 9th standard right now, there are quite a lot of things to do but after all, it goes well.     In my vacation, I have done some such things like 'Comic writing', I am writing comics these days, quilling and sketching which I usually do. My mother observes a fast on the account of 'Karwa Chauth' every year and for that, every year I draw mehndi on her hands, which is a tradition. This year also, I drew mehndi and it came out quite well. I have also collected a few paper cuttings of dress designs that I have made (I lo...

Who Am I?

    The question   'Who Am I'   seems very simple to answer, yet when I give it a thought, who I actually am, I realize it's not as facile as I expected it to be. I know myself as any other teenager dealing with this world, but this is not all, who one actually is? It's a big question as this questions one's entity. I'm not quite being a preacher here, but that is how a learned person would answer this question. For my age though, I think knowing about myself and knowing what I have to do is fine.       I am   Vaani , a teenager ( I like to mention this ). I am charming, curious and ambitious. I live in Pune with my parents and my brother. I like to do creative things, like writing songs and singing, drawing, quilling. I love   singing , it is my passion... something that I enjoy from the core of my heart, it gives me peace. I love listening to music and keeping up with the latest English songs and Shawn Mendes is my favorite singer! Thi...
