I am a fuel saving device. I am a very helpful instrument. I make a shrill noise like Whoo! Whoo! Guess who am I? I am a pressure cooker. Life has been full of joyful and bitter experiences. I now spend time recalling the journey of my life.
I was born in the great pressure cooker factor of ‘Prestige’. I was coated with a shiny metal called Teflon. After being polished, I glowed like the sun. I was golden in color. I had a brown handle and I whistled when something was steaming inside me. I was a multi purpose cooking instrument as I could bake cake and steam rice, vegetables and pulses. I was packed and dispatched to the ‘Prestige store’. One day, a professor of an engineering college came to the showroom. I was on seventh heaven when he decided to purchase me.
I made friends with the saucepan and a charming kettle with a ferocious dragon design on it. As I was brand new, the servant washed me very carefully with expensive soap. When my mistress cooked food in me, her cooking was praised. I felt extremely proud. One day, my mistress hired the cook. She was very reckless. She threw me around here and there. My lid became dented and my whistle broke. I was then sent to a scrap dealer. The scrap dealer peeled off my golden covering and repaired my whistle.
Unfortunately, I had lost my appeal and was sent to a melting factory where I was to be melted and formed into another useful device. I hope a brighter future awaits me.

An autobiography of a monkey
An autobiography of a monkey
I am a monkey. I was born in a big jungle in India. I have a big, long, furry tail. I resemble a man but I have a long tail and four arms.
I like climbing trees and swinging from one tree to another. I climb trees and pluck out ripe fruits to eat. One day when I was looking for some fruits to eat, a hunter came and captured me. He put me in a cage. The cage was loaded on a truck and I was sent off to a zoo. It was a long journey and the cage was very dark. Thinking about my future, a shiver ran down my spine. I wondered what was going to become of me. Soon the truck stopped and I was put in a bigger glass display cage. I was downcast. I was so far from home. I missed my brothers and sisters terrible. In the zoo, rude little children ogled at me and pulled my tail. Sometimes they also made faces at me.
After a few days, I adapted to the new environment in the zoo. Things became easier when I made a few friends like the zebra, lions and the hippopotamus. A lot of people took pictures of me. One day, a very mischievous boy came to my cage and pulled my tail. I became furious and bit his hand. The boy started crying. The zoo authorities then decided to release me into the wild.
Some days later, I was reunited with my family. I was on cloud nine.

A fond farewell to the 10th Std.
Anmol Mehta JNS Head boy leads the celebration
Standard 10th- a stepping stone to college. A year of expectations and anxieties. A year of continues advice to be digested with loads of studies.
To de-stress the standard tenth batch of students before the boards Tejal Mehta's creative writing classes held a small farewell at 'Temptations' which gave the children a chance to unwind and cherish the moments of togetherness before the grand finale.

Reading Club
Summer Vacations- time to have fun and get bored. To drive away the boredom blues Tejal’s Creative Writing Classes conducted a Reading Club. The idea was to create a reading habit amongst the children so that they don’t wile away their leisure in front of the idiot box. Everyday a new author was introduced like Elizabeth Dami, Judy Blume, E. B. White, Rick Riordan, Jeff Kinney and Richmal Crompton. After reading an excerpt from books like Geronimo Stilton, Fudge-A-Mania, Just William and Percy Jackson; the children were given a chance to don their acting hats and showcase their acting skills. They became the characters of the book and expressed its feelings perfectly!
This hilarious session was followed by worksheets, creating posters and playing games.
The last session had a 10 minute prize distribution where the child who garnered the most points was awarded and the others received consolation prizes so everyone was a winner.
It was a 1st attempt at a Reading Club by Tejal Mehta’s Creative Writing Classes. It was a pleasant surprise that the children and we too thoroughly had a blast conducting it!
Live Action straight from Fudge-a-mania!!
