Teachers


The teacher makes our life a hell

And we are glad when we hear the bell



Science, Math, Geography and Computers


Oh, we do hate our teachers



But we kids should always remember


We are good humans only because of our teacher



She helps us whenever in need

And doesn’t care about color, caste or creed



Whenever we are filled with sorrow


She is the one who gave us a great tomorrow



Oh my teacher I like you


And I’m sure other kids agree too!!

Really Funny!

Hi guys! I’m back to make you all laugh with some more funny jokes. Hope you enjoy them!


The Girls Are Girls!

Three girls are stranded on an island for ages. Then they find a lamp. So they rub it and out pops a genie. The genie says, “You girls have one wish each.” So the first girl says, “I wish I was back at home! And she vanishes from the island. Then the second girl says, “I wish I was back at home too.” And she vanishes from the island. Then the third girl says, “It’s lonely here without my friends gone. I wish my friends were back on the island!”


A Touching Speech!

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren’t able to name that person until one of them volunteered. This man gave a very touching speech. He said that he would go off the rope because he had made many sacrifices throughout his life. He had made a sacrifice for his nation, his family, and his parents and for all the people in general. He said that he was willing to do so again. As soon as he finished his speech all the others started clapping their hands!

My Encouter With Santa Clause!

Every child is eagerly waiting for the month of December. Of course! Because of the festival- Christmas. I know it’s too early to talk about Christmas but how could I restrain myself?? Who does not want some awesome gifts and a delicious feast? I guess everyone does! Today I’ll tell you about a curious incident that happened during last Christmas.


I lay longingly on the bed staring into the dying embers. It was Christmas Eve and after a fabulous dinner I was waiting for Father Christmas. This time I was determined to catch him!


Suddenly I heard a loud thud in the living room near the chimney. I eagerly ran to inquire. My eyes nearly boggled out when I saw a fat jolly man with a thick white and experienced beard. He was wearing a red coat and pant with white cuffs. He also had a huge red cap on his head. Oh yes! I couldn’t believe that this was really Father Christmas!


He too out a nicely wrapped present and put it near the fireplace beside the Christmas tree. I was thrilled! I resisted my growing urge to open the present and quietly followed Santa Claus. I did not call him as I was scared he would disappear.


I soon followed him out of the chimney to the end of the dark lane. Here a huge white cloud drifted down towards him and he majestically climbed onto it. I too followed him on the next cloud without any clue about what was going on. He soon reached high up in the sky where his reindeer sleigh was awaiting him.


His reindeer and the sleigh ran with an amazing speed. Within seconds I watched them reach near the moon. He said some magic words and a mystery door opened out of the blue!


He returned back with a bag full of gifts. Oh so this was his toy factory! I soon reached near the door and peeped into the strange room. Wow! It was full of elves and fairies making some wonderful toys! So I suppose they are the ones who toil from dawn to dust to make us glad at receiving such great presents.


I then drifted back home on the cloud with a rather huge smile like Santa! I was truly amazed by this experience. At last I had found out where Santa’s secret toy factory was!


I eagerly opened the package Santa had left for me. Wow! There was a huge hamper full of books inside it. I guess Santa knew all about what I wanted!


This has been the most wonderful Christmas of my life1 I am glad that I learnt such fascinating facts about Santa Claus. You bet I cherish this Christmas time the most!


What about you all? Do you enjoy Christmas time? Come forward and be sure to share your thoughts with me.

Why The Bee Doesn’t Take A Bath?


Have you ever seen a bee


That never takes a bath?


I do terribly hate it


Because I found it on my path!



I was surprised


Because it didn’t sting me


And I’m sure you would be too


If you know something about a bee!



I soon learnt about the strange mystery


It was because it couldn’t hear a blink


When his mother told him he had to sting


He thought she told him to stink!!

House made of Plastic Bottles!!


Once again this time I bring you news about the bizarre things in this world! Ever heard of a house made of plastic bottles? I’m sure you’re surprised, so read on…..


A math professor in Siberia decided of a queer way to celebrate his retirement. He moved into a house made of only & only plastic bottles! He built this house himself by the way. It took him a long way of 5 years to make this house made of 13,500 plastic bottles.


This professor by the name Tomislav Radovanovic from the central town of Kragvejac built this 60 square metre house. He says that he hopes to enter his name in the Guiness Book of World Records and has already sent an application.


By this time I am sure that you must have learnt about my interest in such bizarre things happening around the globe. So be sure to tell me some more of such tales and your thoughts about this post.

Oh! Poor Maria!!

Maria was a little girl who did not like to study mathematics. She got really poor grades in that particular subject. Her father, being a cop, was really strict on that poor soul. He scolded her hard and often gave her punishments if she did not do well. So, Maria was very scared of him.

Maria as usual had got a zero in her Mathematics test, but this time she nearly fainted in dismay. The reason for this was that her father had warned her that if Maria got any more poor grades in the upcoming tests, he would thrash her hard. Thus, Maria was terror struck.

Poor Maria was so scared that evil thoughts captured her innocent mind. She decided that she would lie to her father about her test results. This way she believed that she could save herself from a sound thrashing.

That night Maria tossed and turned in bed. She could not get a sound sleep and the reason, I hope you all know. She kept on seeing nightmares about her father having discovered her lies and flogging her hard. This way she learnt that she wasn’t lying or wasn’t cheating her father but herself.

At that precise moment she gathered courage and went to her father’s study where she blurted out the whole plain truth. After hearing her whole story her father’s anger melted down and he understood that he had been too tough on his little daughter. This was the first time Maria’s father patiently told her about her wrongdoing instead of scolding or thrashing her. He furthermore co-operated and helped her daughter in Mathematics.

Maria improved rapidly and she too understood that there was a good personality in everyone. She took an oath never to lie again and always speak the truth. This incident proved to be a turning point in their lives and after this they became a happy family.

I suppose that all the parents and students would have learnt a lesson from this story. Feel free to share your thoughts with me!

My Day In The Year 2080


Have you ever wondered how a day in future would be? This time I have in store for you a day of the year 2080 emerging from my imagination!!


‘Bang-Bang’ goes the alarm system and the whole room is lit up. The computerized sleep alarm near the bed shows that my body has just had enough 8 hours of sleep.


As usual, I woke up wearily (my habits can’t be changed!) and soon put on my mp7 shirt enjoying the great rocking tune being played on it. I then stand on the escalator to go and brush my teeth when it suddenly comes to a screeching halt midway between the path to the bathroom and in the flash of a lightning I am seated upon a chair that automatically moves forward. My head is then held tight by some robotic machine and amazingly I was dressed and ready in the wink of an eye!


A bit uncomfortable of not washing my face myself I sit down to watch the television as there is an hour left for the school to start. After watching the television for sometime I fold the T.V and push it into my pocket. I then climbed into the private jet in my room. With the click of a red button the ceiling opens and I am zooming past in the sky to my school.


The gate of my school building automatically opens after it scans my face and voice. Wow! This school is completely different. There was a separate classroom for each student. It was almost like a personalized teaching center.


With just the click of a button you could change the colors and ambience of your room. After putting a beautiful Literature based wall with lots of proverbs and quotations and of course some pictures of Shakespeare and other famous authors, I settled down comfortably.


I took out the television from my pocket and after watching a 4-Minute Soccer game and Two2 Cricket match for sometime, I got bored. There was a huge computerized screen on the walls. Oh! I forgot to tell you, the teaching in this world is computerized and automated too! No teacher… no books … great, isn’t it? After listening to some of my favorite books (through mp7 players) I had to give a short and easy test to top my day with a cherry! The test was certainly easy for a literature lover like me!


I zoomed back home in my private jet listening to the music from my mp7 shirt. I certainly loved this fabulous day!


Hope life is so much fun and interesting in future. What do you people think? Do you all have any thoughts about the technology-driven life ahead? Then the “Post Comment" button is right below…..

My Brother



My brother is a genius

As smart as they come

Without the laptop though

He was really dumb!



The laptop was soon gone

By working on it for 24 hours

But my brother discovered

There was no life on Mars!



He became the same genius

All over again

But he could never remember our house

On 24 Park Lane!!

Weird World!!


Hey! There are really strange things going on in this interesting world! I am here this time to tell you all about this strange new world.


A woman in Germany has started a business of making clothes for customers from her pet dog’s hair. Bettina Menkhoff, 50 from Stroetze in Germany makes scarves, gloves and other clothes from dog hair and then sells them on the internet.


The lady says that she got this idea after she bought a pair of socks made from Bobtail-wool. She herself has four Bearded collies and has started to yarn their hair. She says that this technique is only useful when the hair is more than 4 cm long….


If you are interested, you can visit her site Jolly-Fellows. As I cannot understand German, I am hoping that some of my German friends will translate it for me!


Strange, yet interesting! What do you think? Do tell anymore of such tales if you know about them!

Oh! My Test!

In my least favorite class

I didn’t remember to study

About volume & mass!


As usual I got a zero

But this time I became the star

Because everyone else too

Had got no better than a round scar!!

A Ghost All Around Her!

Annabel’s parents had bought an old palatial bungalow in a countryside and they had just shifted into it. Annabel had a huge dark room all to herself. This was the first time she was going to live all alone in her room. Until now she had always shared a room with her caring, elder brother, Mark. He loved his sister more than anything else in the world.

But now, Mark had found a reasonably good job in air force as a fighter pilot and was away on a flight. Annabel was a bit scared about the gloomy room, but when she remembered that it was the day when her brother was to return, she was chirpy and gay throughout the morning.

She noticed that there was something strange in the household. Her mom was not joyful and as jubilant she used to be. Her father was unusually gloomy and was sitting with a newspaper, but his thoughts seemed to be immersed elsewhere.

The whole day Annabel happily made plans to welcome her brother after his tiring journey. After an unusually quiet dinner, she went and lay down on the bed in her dark room. She tossed and turned in her bed thinking about her beloved brother.

In her excitement, she looked longingly towards the door. Out of the blue, she saw the thin outline of her brother Mark. His shining white face was slightly visible and he looked like an unreal image.

Annabel gave a huge cry of excitement and happiness. She put on her specks and turned back towards the door. She was a bit disappointed as she did not see her brother’s smiling face, but unexpectedly she saw an empty doorway.

A bit bewildered, Annabel ran down the flight of stairs where she banged into her mother. She excitedly told her mom about Mark’s return and questioned her as to where he was hiding as Mark indulged himself in a game of hide & seek with his little sister. Suddenly her mother broke into a volley of tears and sorrowfully told Annabel about her brother’s death. Mark had died a painful death as his plane crashed down on hillside.

Annabel could not believe her ears for a moment. She could not control her emotions and weeping she turned back. She was amazed to see the faded image of her brother once again, but only this time, with dark red horrifying eyes, a bloody smile and his dress bespattered with red blood drops!

Hope this story sent shivers down your spine! This was my first try at writing a ghost story and hope you all enjoyed it!!

Exams: I Am Full Of Fear!



I am full of fear

Because my exams are so near


I haven’t studied at all

So I’ll have to sit and study at nightfall


And if I can’t get proper sleep

I’m sure I’ll doze off while writing the answer sheet


So don’t be crazy like me

And study also through tea


Thus if you study throughout the year

You’ll have no examination fear!!


Hi, folks. As my exams are starting tomorrow, I couldn’t think of anything else but study and fear and hence this piece of poem.

Wish me luck. I need it!!!

Those Crowded Malls .....

With the rapid development, there is no empty space anywhere in my city. Builders have erected huge shopping complexes and multiplexes in every nook & corner. This is what I dread the most!

As new malls started arising out of the blue in the city, certainly I was excited to visit the brand new one near my house. With a million dollars in my pocket (kidding, of course, actually with a hole in my pocket) I set off with much thrill and enthusiasm and quickly reached my destination.

Wow! such a huge building. Standing tall and majestic in the scorching heat of the sun, it did look grand. Certainly impressed, I entered the mall.

All around the place were…… of course….. people! Thousands or may be……. millions! At first I was dumbstruck thinking that the whole of the city’s population was present there. I was truly amazed.

Anyways, I had to continue, so I decided to enter the first shop. My wicked mind chuckled at the thought of how the shopkeeper would react when he found out that my pockets were as bare as his bald head!

I entered a kids clothes store. As expected, there were too many people there and I joined the huge crowd of adults and children. In the corner I could see a really plump boy looking into the mirror adjusting his tie & collar.

There was a shelf full of clothes on my right. But what a huge crowd! I thought as if we they were distributing these dresses free of cost! I soon entered the middle of the crowd. Oh, my lord, so uncomfortable I was. Sweat dripping down from my nose and my elbows sure were knocking down the people beside me. And it smelled horrible down there! (That is the reason I always use a good deodorant while going out! he..he).

With a lot of hard work of kicking & pulling, I finally reached near the salesman. Sure, a tedious job that was. I liked some of the dresses and decided to come back later carrying some money and do some proper shopping.

Then after exploring this place an hour later and doing window-shopping at some other stores, I said good bye to this mall and walked back home. I looked at my hand to check the time, but surprisingly there was no watch on it!! I was sure I had one when I left home. After putting my brain to work, I realized that it must have been stolen or lost in that huge crowd. That is the reason

I truly detest and abhor those heavily populated areas like the multiplexes & shopping malls.

Do you frequently visit crowded malls and have you ever gone through such unpleasant incidents?

Top 10 Tips for Success in Examinations!


Who does not have a sigh of relief when the examinations are over? I guess we all do!


Hi, friends. Today while flipping through a magazine, I found a really humorous and entertaining article, which goes like this:



All of a sudden, before the examinations, God in all his magnifications becomes a real hit with the students (especially those brave hearts who believe in studying only a day before the exams).



But as soon as the examinations are over, the short spell of spirituality comes to an abrupt end. The exam may last for a couple of weeks. Unluckily this period seems like a 1000 years! Interestingly, some way or the other, all weddings & parties seem to coincide with the exam time!



Now the patented 100% hit formulae for success in examinations:



  1. Start planning your post-exam parties. This will help in marinating your sanity.
  2. Let go all these reality shows and favorite serials till the exams are over.
  3. Say goodbye to Nick & Disney; the charmer brigade can wait till the exams end.
  4. Reduce the amount of time you spend on telephone.
  5. Start getting up a bit early and don't plead with mother to wake you up 5 minutes later.
  6. Remember to chum up your best brains (for notes) and wicked ones for pranks.
  7. Remember, INTERNET is a sin. Seal your chat box and stop looking social networking sites (blogger forums for me!) till the exams end.
  8. No movies, live matches etc. till the dreadful exams are over.
  9. Pray to God, but don't stop studying just because you've prayed enough.
  10. In the end, study, study & STUDY.


P.S. : If you find life still worth living, go ahead and write the examinations!!

Tips For Saving Tips!!!


How do you feel when you don’t have to pay any single penny as tip to the waiter in a restaurant and still can have a sumptuous and delicious meal? Surprising, isn’t it? Then read on…


The present generation is governed by the technology revolution. I’m saying this although I do not understand any of these blogs based on technology, created by my fellow teenagers!! (He…..he). So you can be sure I got some pretty good news and some tips for you on saving tips in restaurants!


I love to go to restaurants and I’m sure you too adore it! But have you ever thought of one that is technology-based? I haven’t anyways even in my wildest dreams. (But I don’t dream on technology, LOL!!) Here’s the surprise for you. My fellow classmates were recently having a discussion on the food joint and their poor services in the city when one of my peers told me about an automated restaurant.


This restaurant is in a German city, Nuremberg, and is named Baggers. It is supposed to be the world’s first technology-based restaurant with a fully automated ordering and table service system. Here, the customers order their food by typing on a touch screen on their table. Wow!!


The food reaches them comfortably on a mini railway system running from the roof in the kitchen to the dining room (instead of being manhandled by a careless waiter!). That’s not the end. The restaurant even has a system of informing the customers how long the food will take to prepare! No need to pay any tips to the waiters as they are not to be seen at all!


Great, isn’t it? So I know that you can’t wait. Sure that you all would be queuing outside Baggers Restaurant after reading this post.

There Is No Shortcut To Success!


Phil was an innocent teenager who was benevolent and generous. But like all of us, he had one great problem. He had too much faith and belief in astrology.


Like each year, before the examination, he went to the astrologist. But he returned with a heavy heart because the astrologist predicted that Phil would get a very bad result in his examinations.


As his nature, Phil believed in his future predictions. Still, he decided to work hard. Phil was confident that he would fail, but he believed there was no harm in working hard.


Thus, determined but hopeless, yet well prepared Phil wrote his exams. He had no trust in himself. But he was amazed and overjoyed when he saw his name in the merit list. This meant that he has passed with flying colors.


This incident brought immense change in Phil. He now learnt that his future was not in the hands of any other person, but in his own hands. Phil could change his future if he was strong-willed, determined and of course, if he worked hard to attain success.


Do you have confidence and belief in yourself? Are you determined to work hard? I do not say you should not believe in astrology or the like; but should not consider it a shortcut to success. Hope all of you there who are like Phil would have learnt a lesson from this story!!

Ants In The Pants!!!


Our picnic was ruined

By too many ants

At least I’m grateful

I didn’t have them in my pants!


I soon ran away from there

As I was scared the ants would bite me

But as soon as I ran

I was stung by a bee!


I howled in pain

Jumping & running all around

But I was too unlucky

Because some ants soon climbed into my pants!!!

Hippopotamus and the Tortoise

Hi, I recently received an e-mail, which is very inspiring. I thought I would like to share the same with you all. So, here it goes.....

These are truly amazing pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

[]
NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived the
Tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong
Bond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal
Facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said.
The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about
300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki
River into the Indian Ocean , then forced back to shore
When tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on
December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.
[]
"It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a
Male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to
Be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu,
Who is in charge of Lafarge Park , told AFP.
[]
"After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized.
It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother.
Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond.
They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist added.
"The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it followed its mother.
If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive,
As if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu added.
[]
"The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and
By nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their
Mothers for four years," he explained.
[]
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
But by the moments that take our breath away."
[]
This is a real story that shows that our differences don't matter
Much when we need the comfort of another.


So, I think that we could all learn a lesson from these two creatures of God,
"Look beyond the differences and find a way to walk the path together".

What do you think?

I Am Late!



Has there been any incident in your life when you were late for school or office? Oh yes! I am one of the victims of this sorrowful incidence.


The sharp sound of the huge alarm bell ringing echoed in my ears. I woke up warily and noticed that I was five minutes late. Thus, I hastily got ready for school. Luckily I was in time.


I think there was some enrapturing news in the newspaper because my father was stuck to his seat. After a huge argument he stood up reluctantly. Without a word I sat down beside him in the car and had a fleeing glance at my watch. As expected I had very little time to reach school at the nick of the hour.


Suddenly our car came to a screeching halt. As this disaster struck I was now sure that there was no chance that I would not be late for school. I cursed my lucky stars. The fierce faces of my teachers now floated before my eyes.


I learnt that there was some technical failure in the car. The big and hefty machine was pushed to the mechanics garage. It was then repaired in ten minutes. I looked at my watch and my heart sank in disappointment, as it was already 7 o’clock (the time my school begins).


I wondered how my friends would react if I, the most punctual student, reached late to school. The confused faces of my friends searching for me in the vast crowd of school children lingered before my eyes.


With all these gloomy thoughts I finally reached school. I ran to the school gate but to my dismay the gate was already closed. After a lot of pleadings with the watchman, I was unwillingly admitted inside.


As soon as I reached my class I got some knee shaking glories from my teachers! I tried my best to explain that I was late through no fault of my own, but my clarifications fell upon deaf ears. How I wished I could disappear into the thin air! As my day began with a bad note, I was cranky and annoyed throughout the day.


I have something to say to those suffering from anguish due to these reasons. Life does not always run on a smooth track so we should learn to accept it as it comes! At times, listening to a bit of scolding is better than trying to defend yourself, by retorting back.


Has something similar to this happened with you too? Why not tell me then??

Rain

Like crystals of liquid

They fall on the ground

Bringing happiness, greenery

And natural beauty all around


Flowers blossom in amusement

And the peacocks are an enchanting sight to see

The bare fields now yield many crops

Gazing at such a scene is delighting to me


The wonderful fragrance of the flowers

And the lovely colors of the peacock’s plumes

The rainbow above the lush green fields

All these in the fresh air blooms


The rain is so charming

And brings such enjoyment

I just love the sight of it

And watching it is a great entertainment!

Laugh Till You Drop!!



Everyone has a funny bone, so today I am back to tickle your bone till you don’t fall off your chair (laughing of course!). Hope you enjoy it!


Funny Animals


A struggling actor walks into a zoo for work.


“The Gorilla has died. I will pay you $ 300 to dress in this monkey suit and amuse the visitors.” Says the manager.


The actor agrees but the visitors soon get bored of him and move on the lion’s cage. Desperate to keep his job, the actor climbs up the lion’s cage and dangles just out of the reach of the lion. This infuriates the lion but amuses the visitors. He performs this stunt attracting a huge crowd. Thrilled, the manager gives him a bonus.


The next day, he loses his grip and lands at the feet of the lion.


“Help, Help me” he shouts in terror and starts running.


“Shut up! Do you want both of us to lose our job??” asks the lion as he pounces on him.


Sleep-o-mania


“You’re sleeping on the job again! This is too much! You’re fired from the first day of the next month!” shouts an angry boss.


“It’s not the first day so for God’s sake why did you wake me up just now???” retorts the employee.
