VISIT TO AN OLD AGE HOME

Dear diary,

Today, I had a very bad experience in my life and I became sad. Actually, I visited an old age home. There were many old people. They were lonely, sick, and unhappy. Though they had good food and medical facilities, they were under depression. Their children left them.

I and my parents talked to them for hours. It helped them to forget their woes only for some time. They were missing their own children and grandchildren. We left the old age home and returned home. I promised myself one thing. I will look after my parents when I grow up. I will never leave them like this. I will never forget this visit in my life. Now, I want to sleep.

Good night Diary

FIRST DAY IN MY NEW SCHOOL

Dear diary,

Today I had a very good experience in my life and became very excited. Actually, I joined my new school. There was a very big playground and many beautiful small gardens. The school was very big but everybody was disciplined. My class teacher was nice to me. She introduced me to the entire class. I sat in the front row with Manu the class monitor. She helped me in doing my pending work. During lunch, we shared our lunch. In the music period, we visited the music room and played guitar. She gave me her notebooks for a home to complete my work. I like her very much.

Now, I am feeling good about the new school. I will never forget this day in my life. Now, I want to sleep.

Hello Diary

I WISH I WERE A PIGEON

Today, I had a very good experience of my life. I saw a group of pigeons on my roof. I felt excited to see them. Whenever I see them, I wish if I were a bird and I could also fly like them. If I were a pigeon, I would roam here and there all day long. I would also enjoy the top view of all the buildings from above. If I felt hungry, I would eat fruits of his choice. I would fly high in the sky and enjoy the cool breeze. I would not even have to go to school. I wouldn't have to study and neither have to worry what Mumma or teachers will say. The whole day I would do whatever I wanted. I would also keep all my friends with me.

What a life it would be! Thanks for listening to me.

I WISH I WERE A RICH MAN

Hello Diary

Today, I had a very good experience in my life. A very rich gentleman came to my school. Their way of behaviour fascinated me. I thought If I were a rich person, what would I do? Surely, I would fulfill all the dreams of my parents. I would roam around the world and see all the beauties of nature. I would experience and enjoy everything around me. I would make my home in the countryside. I would live happily with all my family members in that house.

Other than self-pleasure, I would start an NGO for stray animals. I would try to help others appropriately in every possible way I could. I would never scream at others. Unlike other rich people, I would behave politely and respectfully.

With the hope that I will be a very rich man someday, I want to retire to bed.

IF I WERE A QUEEN

Dear Diary

Today I had a very good experience in my life. I was very excited to get First prize in story telling. It was a book of stories about queens . I wish I were a queen and live my life like them. I would get up late in the morning. I would call my maids for all my works. I would make up for hours and then move out of my palace to visit beautiful places. People would greet me and bow their head in front of me. I would order for delicious food and drinks. I would also be humble queen so I would help poor people. I would also punish the rude and wicked people.

I would ride horse and go to jungle  with my soldiers and maids. I would live a royal life. What a good life it would be! Now, it’s very late.

BEGGAR BECAME SHOPKEEPER

Dear diary

I want to tell you something very interesting. I was returning from my school and sitting at the window seat in my school bus.  Our bus got a technical default; hence, we were waiting for another bus to drop us to our homes. I saw that a person had been begging on the road in front of a temple. Suddenly, I saw a man came to the beggar. He had few rose sticks in his hand. He arranged all the rose sticks in a row on a newspaper in front of the beggar and then he took one stick and paid for the stick to the beggar. We were surprised to see this. Then one more lady came and bought to sticks from the beggar. Now, the beggar became the shopkeeper. One by one people came and bought the sticks from the beggar. The young man’s idea changed the earning source of that poor man. Then our new bus arrived and we moved from there. This was an exiting thing for me. May God bless the young man!

Good night.

VISIT TO MY HOME PLACE

Hello Diary

In my summer vacation, I went to meet my grandparents. They live in a village far from our city.  in her village. Before that I was under the impression that village life is far inferior to the city. But I was wrong. Village life is far better than the city. Villages are neat, calm and pollution-free. Now, almost every facility like-electricity, TV connection, Internet. Good roads and transport is found in villages. My grandparents, chacha ji, tauji, chichi ji and taiji  welcomed me more than anything. My grandmother cooked delicious food with lassi, gujhiya, etc. I stayed there for three days. I slept under the tree. I woke up early in the morning and went to the farms with my cousins. I also bathed in tube well water. I plucked fruits directly from trees. I was a fun for me. I did not want to come back but I had to.

If I will get a chance, I would love to be there with my joint family in village.

Good night!
