The most beautiful place i have seen

Lavvasa, what a beautiful place

“Wow!!! This is so beautiful, dad. I love this.” I exclaimed with joy. I was on seventh heaven. My eyes nearly popped out.

Summer vacation had just started. I was wondering where will we go? Suddenly, my dad came and announced that we are going to Lavvasa. It was an overcast sky and a pleasant morning. My dad took me to Lavvasa.

As soon as we reached there I jumped out of the car. It had just rained so everything was wet and foggy. The frogs were jumping in the mossy lily ponds, children were splashing in the puddles and there was a magnificent rainbow which just took my breath away. I was over the moon. Then, we entered into our new and fabulous farmhouse. It was a magnificent house with two floors. From the balcony we could see there were hills filled with greenery – trees, bushes, shrubs and tall grass. My mom explained it rains a lot over here so the greenery is maintained. There were soft green leaves radiated in the sun and strong majestic trees swaying from one side to another.

It was a very picturesque sight which cannot be converted into words. I think I loved this place and you too would like it and would like to come back.

Mother fell ill

Oh no!
“Yippee!” my summer holidays have started. There will be no tension and studying but there will be fun and enjoyment.
One Sunday morning I woke up at 9:00. It was pleasant and a fresh morning. Birds were singing joy fully and the trees were swaying merrily. I went to the kitchen and realized that my mother was not there . I went to her room; she was in bed looking pale. I asked my father what happened he said that mother has fever-104 degrees. I was flabbergasted. I promised her that I will do all the work of the house. I told her to relax and sleep for a while. I kissed her on her cheek and said,” get well soon” and went away. I cleaned the vessels and got Maggie massala from a shop and made Maggie for our lunch. My father helped me with some work. He washed our clothes, swept the floor. At night I was tired so I took a half an hour rest and was back to work. We took a thermometer and saw that my mother had fever with temperature 108.My heart was in my mouth. I called for the doctor. He came and told that it isn’t 108, its 100.8. He gave us some medicines. We gave those medicines to my mother. She was alright then.
My mother saw the work we had done; she was amazed and gave us a party at Rama Krishna Hotel. We were so ecstatic. This was a tiring but yet an enjoyable day.

Advisory letter for better use of pocket money

101, Olympus Complex,

9th August, 2010.
Dear Sanil,
I am elated to know that mother has started to give you pocket money. As your older brother I would like to advise you about how to safely use your pocket money.
As it is your pocket money you can spend it on buying items but be careful. When I started I used to spend it to eat roadside food. Mother and father advised me not to do so, but save it. I did not listen and continued spending it which was a sure wastage which I realized later.
You must divide your money into two parts. One part you should sped and the other you should save. A large amount will be saved after a year or two. The proverb ‘every Penney saved is every Penney earned' is absolutely true, and that you should make it your motto.
You can use this money in a good way like subscribe to a story book to improve your English as your last year marks were very bad.
I hope that my advice is useful to you and that you follow it.
Your loving brother,
Miraj

Apology letter to best friend

Write an apology letter to your friend after a fight
101, Olympus Complex,
Perry Cross Road,
Mumbai-400050.
3rd August, 2010.
Dear Sanil,
I apologize to you from you bottom of my heart. I am awfully sorry. Forgive me for my misbehavior. I feel small and ashamed of myself. Please accept my sincere apology. Please forget this incident and pardon me.
I feel extremely sorry as I abused you which I should not have done. I was too engrossed in the cricket match which we were playing. When you did not take the catch I got too furious. I was almost out of control. I am feeling very horrible that I cannot bring myself to see you. Please forget the terrible fight we had. We were like bullies. I made a very big issue just because of your dropped catch which was not the spirit of a captain. Let bygones be bygones.
Let’s be friends and have a wonderful time as we had before.
Your loving friend,
Miraj

The Animal That I Fear The Most

“Oh! My god, Help me! Help me!” I exclaimed loudly when a spider came in my room.

I simply don’t like creepy crawly creatures. I don’t like the spiders.

One day my mother was going out for an important meeting. I shouted and whooped with joy. As I was taking my breakfast, I saw a spider peer by. I stopped dead in my tracks, my face went white with fear and my legs shook like jelly. I screamed out as loudly as I could but then I knew that no one was there in the house, so no one could help me.

Soon I collected myself and with courage and got ready with my weapon, the bucket and the broom. My hands moved powerfully and I swept the spider and hit it so that it flew in the bucket. I took hold of the bucket carefully and threw the spider on the floor; the spider was just about to jump in when I quickly closed the door. I let out a high pitched whoop of laughter as I had got rid of the spider. I was also very happy as I had got rid of my fear.

Till date I am never afraid when I see a spider.

Autobiography of a Wristwatch

I am tied to your wrist and you look at me to know the time. I have 3 hands. Can you guess who am I?
I am a wrist watch. It has been a long journey and now I am old lying in a dustbin. Now -a- days I spend my time recounting the event that shaped my life. My life began in an enormous factory of Rolex watches. Once I was made I looked myself in the mirror and I was stupefied. I was very charming. I was packed in a box. I was extremely proud of myself as I was one of the most expensive watches of the world. I was sent to U.S.A. and then I was dispatched and sent in a huge Rolex shop. When I entered I was amazed to see other marvelous watches. I was cleaned everyday. I was shining like a star. One day a man who was wearing a suit entered the shop. He was actually Tom Cruise- the famous Mission Impossible actor. When he saw me he just stared at me. Then he immediately gave the cheque to the salesman. I was on cloud nine to be a wrist watch of Tom Cruise. When he wore me on his hand I felt exhilarated. When he went for shooting, the film staff appreciated and praised me. One day when he had to do a hazardous stunt he unfortunately forgot to take me off his hand. He had to do the stunt on a horse. Suddenly the horse neighed in panic and he fell down on his hand and my dial broke into pieces. Then his assistant took me to the nearest watch repair shop. The watch repair man told that I am one of the most expensive watches in the world and there is no other dial that can fit on me, so the assistant told the shopkeeper to throw me in the recycle bin.
Now you would have got to know how I am in such a situation. I have been through many ups and downs in life. I lie here watching my life go by.
