“Rain rain come again, I really want to play!” I exclaimed to myself. Everybody is tired of the heat. We can feel the scorching heat of the Sun and steam rising from the ground. My only wish to God is to get rains and my wish came true yesterday.
I woke up early in the morning. Strong gusty winds were blowing in my face as I went out in the balcony. I saw that the sky was overcast with dark clouds making it a sight worth admiring. Suddenly it started raining and people started running for shelter. I quickly woke my parents up and they were delighted to see it. Then we saw a bike skidding and thank goodness the driver wore a helmet. As the day progressed, the vehicles began moving at a snail’s pace. I requested my mother if I could go to play in the rain and surprisingly she allowed me. My friends and I splashed water on each other and had a rollicking time. We were drenched to the skin. Then my mother called me as the first rain was acidic and it could harm me.
After the rain stopped my grandfather and I went around for a walk. We saw shining clean leaves and big puddles. The sky had a marvelous rainbow and the sky was painted with a variety of hues. We went in a park and we saw boys merrily sailing paper boats and jumping in muddy puddles.
Then at night the sky burst in all it’s fury and it started to rain cats and dogs. Flashes of lightning dazzled my eyes. Streaks of lightning across the jet-black sky made it look magnificent. It rained all night and the next morning I saw people wading through knee deep water.
I wished that it rained everyday and we would get a relief from the burning heat and the floods would result in holidays from school.

Summer Vacations
"We are going to SINGAPORE!” exclaimed my father. My eyes gleamed with joy. I was shocked and pleased.
The summer vacation had started. I had put all my books inside the cupboard. I had two months of vacation. I was going to enjoy the freedom and my mother was not going to be chasing me to finish homework. I was on cloud nine.
The very next Sunday we left for Singapore. I was on the seventh heaven. We visited to many places like the bird park, many theme parks and we saw the Dolphin show and the aquarium. The bird park had the birds from all around the world. As we entered the park I was enchanted to see all the birds. Next, we went to the theme park, we sat in all the rides, we were overjoyed to sit in them.
After two weeks we returned. It was a wonderful vacation and I thanked my parents for taking me for a delightful trip which will stay in my mind forever.

A horrifying car accident-2
“ Oh no ! “ I exclaimed loudly to my friend. A car had banged into a wall at the corner of the road. I was left gaping with horror.
I saw blood flowing from the site. People rushed to the site. The car had lost control and its brakes had failed. The wind screen had shattered and glass pieces had scattered around the site on the road . The car engine was crushed and fuel was dripping out. The driver had a nasty head injury One tyre had rolled over a girl’s foot who was walking on the road , near the car . After some time an ambulance came. Suddenly, a tyre burst with a bang. The girl on whose foot the tire rolled was crying in pain and they all were taken to the hospital . They had bruises all over the body , but the good news that they all were alive
After this incident I am very careful on roads. I walk very carefully. I don’t want to be a victim of any such accident.

A horrifying car accident
‘Someone call the paramedics’ screamed out loud. A chill ran down my spine. I was horrified.
It was rainy season. We decided to go to Lonavala to have fun. We soon left the city and drove a long way so we decided to stop at Mc donalds. I ate my favorite mc chicken and left for Lonavala.
When I was looking at the greenery outside suddenly I saw a truck overtaking and smashing into an Audi A4 and then it sped away. My father stopped the car and we ran to the black Audi. We saw an old driver and a gorgeous lady.
It seemed that they were in excruciating pain. Glass pieces were in the lady's tummy and she was crying for help and the old man head was injured. Blood was oozing out like a fountain. The sight was horrific.
My dad and I helped them. I pulled the lady out and my dad pulled out the old man. We called the paramedics. They came and took them on a stretcher to the Lilavati Hospital. In the hospital they were taken directly to the ICU and we soon came to know that they were dead. My mother was in tears.
I can never forget this incident in my life. This was the most horrifying accident I have ever witnessed. I could not sleep for many nights and sometimes I cried in my sleep.

Autobiography of a Butterfly
I have gorgeous and colorful wings & you can usually find me in lush green gardens & bushes. Now can you guess who am I? Well, your guess is as good as mine- I am a butterfly having a spellbinding evolution, in comparison to boring, mediocre lifestyle of you human beings. Now, I am sure that you would be dying of curiosity to hear my fascinating life story.
I flutter around on a warm, sunny day in gardens, happily rubbing off my colorful wings & imprinting the vibrant colors on whoever catches hold of me. To start with, I was an innocent caterpillar hiding in a warm cocoon safely & than transforming into a gorgeous butterfly. I was born from a little yellow egg nestled on a huge leaf. After caring & feeding me in the initial stage of my life, my mother left me to search for the food & I started getting used to be independent. Once, I was playing with my other cousins & siblings, when our enemy- a huge eagle swooped down to prey on us, and we all quickly crouched in a dark corner, waiting for him to fly away. I stopped dead in my tracks, hardly daring to breathe also. I was most relieved when the big bird went away & again all of us were as merry as a cricket. Like this after few days passed by, it was time for me to take a long rest in my cocoon. After few months, when the cocoon opened, you could not believe what I had transformed into, out I came as a marvelous, enchanting butterfly. I was one in million – The Monarch Butterfly .One warm day , when I was proudly gliding across in the park , sudden stark white light hit me in my face, which later I came to know was a camera flash , as tourists were trying to click pictures. After a few days I noticed that all my friends were green with envy, as my picture was put up in an exhibition. Oh! I was as cheerful as a lark.
This is my routine, enjoying the warmth of the sun & making the most of it during the warm, sunny days & during the wet spell, hiding in the bushes & recuperating.
So I do not know what the future has in store for me, whether ours will be EXTINCT OR ENDANGERED species, but right now I am living in present & with full faith in my creator , that whatever happens , it will be for our own good.
