“ Oh God .I am dead . How on Earth am I going to face my dad . Oh! No” I exclaimed , sweat forming on my brow .
It was Monday , I woke up late for the school . Unfortunately the gate’s of the school were closed and I was not allowed to enter the school . So, my dad was very annoyed with me and he was thundering loudly at me .I argued with my father that his life was easier than mine as he had no rules to follow . So, he gave me a challenge that for a day I had to be the boss of his office and had to maintain the position and the decorum of the office nicely and properly .
I was elated and my eyes were shining with joy and excitement when I had to miss the school and had to sit in the office in an air-conditioned room .As I reached the office I was exilirated as everyone there stood up and wished me . They were all taken aback and left gaping with wonder when they saw that instead of my father I had arrived in the office .I told them the truth and they all told me what I had to do . I was left speechless when I saw about a 20 files on my desk . They told me that I had to recheck them and so to understand them I had to read about hundred’s of book’s . I was astonished when I was told that before 7o’clock in the evening , I had to recheck them . At once , I started reading and rechecking them . There was a lot of mess around me as when I would solve a problem another one would come up and at last I would crumble the paper and throw it . I had made a fool of myself by coming there . I was not even 13 years old nor 10th pass but I was doing a job which had to be done by a 40 year old man. I was also told that if I did not submit these files by that evening the office would suffer a great loss . they also told me that if I didn’t then from the best company in India we would reach down to the last company . I was totally terrified and a chill ran down my spine when I heard that . I started crying at that very moment as I had messed up all the files and all the problems which I had rechecked , were all wrong . Now , I literally couldn’t face my dad .
Just then my dad came up to me and told me that it was all a drama or a skit put up to teach me a lesson that we should not be overconfident and instead we should be punctual for everything , and should study hard not only for good marks but for becoming a good educated man like Ratan Tata . It was a day of enlightenment for me as to how to succeed in life .

Essay on a Calamity
TORNADO:
Isn’t it a terrifying word to hear & more petrifying to see or be a victim
of?
We all know what a tornado is – it is basically a calamity that destroys
life. It destroys everything – homes, fields, cattle’s, thousands of men,
animals, trees, etc.
In Khirtanpur the people had been experiencing a fierce tornado
recently.
Our school decided to take us there to help the people as a part of our
social – science project. We thought that it would be very exciting and
new to help the people but on reaching there we were shocked to see
that the people really had to bear the pain and the loss that occurred.
We realised that the natural catastrophe left a trail of destruction in
their way. My friend collapsed on seeing the human suffering and
devastation.
The electricity and telephone poles littered around. Trees were
uprooted. Cars were damaged. We saw families hanging down their
heads and letting down big tears as they some officials shifting dead
bodies. It was such a devastating tragedy which was unimaginable.
We saw people rendering homeless and crying. The uproar of people
showed their great distress. Helpless victims raised their voice for
help. Government provided many rescue forms. Helicopters threw food
packets and water. The army, paramilitary and administrative officials
were also present. The doctors and paramedic were busy disposing
the decomposed bodies.
That day we recognised the true face of nature. We saw that nature
always shows supremacy over Man. But natural calamities are partly
our own undoing. Natural calamities occur when its I gods wish, but
help is done when it is our own wish. So,
--- PLEASE HELP THE NEEDY WHILE YOU CAN !!!!

Letter to describe a scenic place
Dear Kashvi,
I hope you enjoyed your vacation.Last week, I visited Darjeeling and would like to share the experience with you.
To escape the heat of Mumbai,my father decided to take us to Darjeeling in North India.I was taken aback by the scenic beauty.The valley filled with greenery,it looked picturesque.The open green stretch with velvety grass looked great.In our room,I would always sit beside the window and admire the clear and blue water flowing down the stream.The next morning our guide took us for a nature trail.Mountains were bathed in the glory of the rising sun.As we moved ahead,we saw tht the trees were so high that they seemed to receiving messages straight from heaven .There were lush green fields with preety dancing flowers.There were many blooming flowers.Tiny petals were dancing to the tune of the breeze.I was relaxed when I heard the sweet chirpings of the birds.Flowers emitted sweet fragrance which was carried by the breeze far and wide.
Serene,calm,quiet and peaceful life of country-side is fascinating.I am sending you some pictures to share with you the beauty I saw.I hope you like them.Awaiting for your reply.
Your loving friend,
Janvi

Letter to a friend
Dear Rohan,
I am writing this letter to you about the accident due to which i would not come to school from the past two weeks.
On Friday evening I was coming from tution when a smuggler was running on a bike from the police. I moved aside but the smuggler's bike slipped. He jumped off but i got badly hurt by the bike. The policeman admitted me to the hospital. My mother and father were called immediately. The doctor told that an operation had to be performed since the bike crashed into my leg and bone has been broken.
The operation was successful but I was on a wheel chair. I was allowed to go home after ten days, on Monday in the second week of December.
The docter asked me rest for 15 days.I hope you will help me for the studies that i have missed in the school.
i hope you and my other friends will come to meet me tomorrow.Convey my regards to uncle,aunt and other friends.

Autobiography of a Wristwatch
I am a beautiful thing that has diamonds on it and shows time. Guess who am I? I am a pretty watch. My present life is so dreadful and appalling. It is such a contrast to my early life which was filled with bliss and happiness. Now they are only memories.
I was born in a factory. I am golden in color and I have diamonds in me after every line. Technicians put the battery in me, set the correct time and packed me. They dispatched me to a big departmental store in Vile Parle called Alfa. I was displayed in a glass window. Many girls passed by and admired me. They wanted to buy me but I was too expensive. I was for Rs. 24,000. Now I was almost 3 months in the display box and I was getting bored in it. After an hour, I saw a girl coming out of a Ferrari car. I saw a man also coming out of the other door of the car. He was an actor and the girl was his daughter. He had come to buy her a present for it was her birthday today. While coming in she saw me and liked me very much, and told her father to buy me. They went in and bought me. I was so delighted to come out of the display box. We went in her Ferrari car to her house. She quickly showed me to her mother. Her mother told her to wear me the next day for her birthday party. Her name was Dipika. She took me to her room and kept me in my cupboard. After a while she went to sleep. The next day she removed and wore me. The party was in her house. Her house was decorated very well. There was a theme to become cartoon characters. She became a fairy with a wand, her hair tied like a bun and me in her hand. All her friends started coming one by one. They played many games. I slipped from her hand, fell on the ground and broke. She saw me broken and started crying. Her mom quickly picked me up and cheered her. She told Dipika to go back and enjoy the party and that; she would buy her a new watch. While Dipika’s mother was drinking water, she accidently dropped water on me and I lost all my beauty. She put me in her purse. After the party she put the purse in the cupboard. She never removed the purse again. During Diwali, she cleaned her cupboard. She saw the purse and opened it. She saw ma all spoilt, so, she gave the purse to the maid with me in it. The servant opened the purse and saw me, and gave me to her daughter. But, her daughter couldn’t understand that my battery was over. So she threw me in the gutter.
I hope somebody removes me out of this dirty gutter and clean me. Life feels worse than death. I have survived many miseries. I hope in future life has some happiness in store for me.
