Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul 2

Recently, I started reading this new book called Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul 2

I find it a very good book, because it tells me about different children, and what has happened in their life, and they're from different places around the world. So it's really fun to know what happens in their country, their place and their surrounding.

Day-before yesterday I read about a guilty conscience. There was this kid, who went to the supermarket with his father. His father needed to buy the house supplies. And, this kid saw these lovely toys in the toy-rack. There were cool cards too. He wanted them; but his father said they were rather too expensive.

So, when his father walked out of the shop, he stole the cards and put them in his pocket. Then, he got a bad tummy ache when he reached home; he didn't get sleep in the night. In the (next) morning, he had to tell his mother, so he went and told her. His mother said, "I'm so glad you told the truth." She took him to the shop, and they paid it to the shop-keeper, and they told the shopkeeper everything. She said he was always welcome to come back.

So I thought it was really nice and interesting, and how this boy had the guts to go to the shopkeeper, tell her what he had done wrong, and what he had really done. So I really liked it.

Volleyball, at LCHS

Hey!!!...

As you all know LCHS is my school...it is fun..and now I have started going for volleyball classes.

I go every evening on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My friends told me to start coming for volleyball and they said it was a lot of fun so I started going.

They were right it was really a lot of fun. There is a coach and she teaches us.

We learn how to finger the ball, serve etc...

Broken guitar string

Hey everybody, I started playing (learning) the guitar six months ago. This is my seventh month at it.

I have a teacher from Taught-to-Teach (a music school that has different branches -- Mapusa, Porvorim and Bicholim -- and the man who runs it teaches all the teaches, and they teach the students by visiting their homes, or you can go for classes over there).

It's a lot of fun learning the guitar, but you also have to practise a lot, which is very annoying. When you just start,your hands pain a lot, but then, you have to think about one day when you can play the guitar so well... and then you won't even care why your hands used to pain.

Now my hands don't pain as much as they used to pain....

I learn the box guitar -- it's also known as the acoustic guitar. I learnt many chords and notes (D, C, E, A, B, and F). My guitar classes are on every Wednesday, and I have enough to practise the whole week.

So, when I was practising one day, my brother came and untuned my guitar. And I tried tuning it back, but I didn't get the exact tunes, so I left it. And on Wednesday, my guitar teacher tried to fix it, but one of my guitar string had been tightened too much, so it just snapped.

And now I'm trying to fix it....

Going for a tiatr

On September 15, my mom, her friend and me went for a tiatr. A tiatr is a funny play which has a story and a moral. Tiatrs are basically shown on a family, and people working very hard, and people wasting money. Tiatrs are a lot of fun to watch, and when there are tiatrs the hall is full.

Tiatrs are always in Konkani.

The story of the tiatr I went for was on a family which had two sons, and they had got married, and their father had saved a lot of money (it had come up to 30 lakh of rupees). The father wanted to give the money to the sons, but the mother wanted to give it to the daughters-in-law. The mother was generous, and finally the daughters-in-law started acting all mean, they got an airconditioner in their room, the bill was going high, and they would not pay for their bill. The lights were cut off by the Electricity Department. So they had to go to hotels. They were willing to pay for the hotels but not for the electricity bill which cost Rs 2000. The daughters-in-law also kept watching television the whole day.

And there was this guy called Shantu, and he was in love with this girl. And he told her he could read palms, and offered to read palms. And he said, there's someone who loves you and he's one of your neighbours, he's single and has a very old father. And she thought there was another guy, so Shantu was very sad.... This tiatr will be shown again at the Kala Academy; I don't know when.

[We mostly go to the Kala Academy to watch tiatrs. Kala Academy is a place run by the government, and they promote music over there, and Goan culture. The music is based on cultural music, Western and Indian music. When we come close to Christmas, they also have Carols conducted, and traditional dances like Bharatnatyam, etc. They also conduct the mando festival over there, and some films from the IFFI film festival are also shown there.]

The tiatr is a lot of fun, specially when the acting part is going on, because then they have all jokes and stuff. But when they're singing, it's really boring. I'm looking forward to going to a tiatr again. My mom will take me, because she is making a short film and that's it.

The talent fiesta is something my school organises every year,it is held every year before the Ganesh chaturthi holidays,it is where every student in the whole school shows their own talent.There are many activities held there,the activities are divided into two groups performing activities and creative activities,From them each student is allowed to choose two activities,two creative activities and one performing activity.for performing i took group dance and for creative I took candle decoration and collage,it was fun fun because the activities were fun and because we dident have school for two days....so thats the end of my blog entry and I hope u have all enjoyed it,and if u have any questions to ask me feel free and put them on my comment box...so bye 4 now..!!

Its just so Confusing...!!

Its just so hard to make up my own mind about what to become in life...Its hard because u have to make the right one.And there are so many cool things u could become.in 1st std they asked, what do u want to be??and i would say a princess or a mermaid,in 2nd they would ask the same question,and i would say a dancer or a singer,in 3rd they would ask the same question,and I would say a teacher or doctor,in 4th the same question would come up and I would come up with a different answer and this went on.So till now I don't really know what I really want to be,but I am thinking of marine biologist or a lifestyle journalist..and I hope it stays that way...

When will school reopen?????????

I can't wait for school to reopen cause I miss my friends a lot. I don't like the times we get punished or the times we have to do a a lot of home work, but the best times are when we work together as a team and get called the best class and when the teachers say, "I am proud and happy to teach this good class."

My own poem called Whatif

whatif i was a toy,
whatif i get sick and die,
whatif i start a school,
whatif i broke the swimming pool,
whatif i wore two pig-tails to shcool,
whatif nobody liked me,
whatif my friends forgot me.

Risks on Facebook

I have joined Facebook a month ago.and I already have 77 friends. My mom doesn't mind me being on Facebook because  all  of my friends are on it and they keep talking  about it. And I would feel leftout.

So one fine  day my mom said, "Okkkk, you can be on Facebook." But  my father dosen't like me being  on  Facebook. He has already told me the risks of kids on Facebook.

But I like Facebook and I love the games and all of my family members are my friends on Fbk. My best friend Isabel is on Facebook too and so is Abigale, Varuna, Rebecca etc.

My friends are only  below the eighth standard mostly  except people who my parents know. And I don't  mind at  all. I am just so happy to be on Fbk.

The summer camp (at Don Bosco's)

I am going for a summer camp to Don Bosco's High School. I will go with my friends, and we will take cooking, dancing and film-making classes. Me, Abigale, Gabriella, Delilah and my little brother (Aren).

My brother will take Taekwando and Skating and we will h ave a lot of fun. When we have a break, we will read books and play for the rest of the holidays. I will go to the pool. I will also go shoping, and to my friends' house to play.

My best author: Meg Cabot

My best author's name is Meg Cabot, and I read on the Net that she is the first New York Times bestselling author of over twenty-five series and books for both adults and tweens/teens, selling over fifteen million copies worldwide.

Her Princess Diaries series, which is currently being published in over 38 countries, was made into two hit movies by Disney. Meg Cabot has also written the Mediator and the 1-800-Where-R-you series, Missing, All American Girl, Teen Idol, Avalon High, How To Be Popular, Pants on Fire, Jinx, Queen of Babble and many more interesting series.

Meg Cabot is my best author because she writes so well and makes her books so intresting, that you never stop reading them.

My Christmas

I wish my Christmas will be the best
Chocolats and cookies and all the rest
I'll sit under the Christmas tree
Waiting for Christmas to come close to me.

I wish the Lord will shine on me
And everyone will see miracles in me
And I'll say a pray for everybody
So all their wishes may be granted.

I wish I had a cat

I wish I had a cat
and I would name it Pat
It would have a hat
and sit on a lovely blue mat
and say, "I am a lovely cat".

I would give it a doll
and it would take it to a ball
and hid it in Pat's shawl
and say there's nothing at all.

Mater Dei is a hundred years old

Mater Dei is a school in Saligao, Bardez, Goa. It's an English medium school, and today they are celebrating its 100th year (anniversary).

The school is a very old school. There are two principals who run it, and their names are Cleta Lobo and Edna Lobo. The school was set up by their father.

The school is quite a nice school, and they have really cool text books. Because they learn all fun activities. In their textbooks, they learn really fast.

Today, they're celebrating the centenary and they have a small Mass in the Mae De Deus Church at Saligao.

My brother likes his school very much. He's going to blog about it; he doesn't like to talk so much, and tell everybody as much as I do. But he has made a lot of friends in his school, including Raj (his best friend), Duniya, Maria and some others from Standard I.

His class teacher is very nice, he says. Her name is Abinia. Aren has a lot of fun in his school, and he likes it.

When I go to pick him up, he's smiles a lot. The smaller classes always come out last. There's this girl, who just comes up to my father and asks him, "Do you know me Uncle?" and starts talking to me and my father about millipedes and centipedes. One day, she heard my brother talking about millipedes, and that's how she started talking about it.

No to TV

My father doesn't let me watch TV because he thinks it's bad for me. I like watching TV. He never lets me watch TV especially when there's my programme.

In some way it's good, but I feel he should let me watch TV.

When I watch TV, I feel happy and I like watching TV because I think it's fun.

Sometimes it's bad for me, because I get distracted, and I don't concentrate on my studies and stuff. But in some way, it's also good. Like, when I watch National Geographic and Disney Channel. In National Geographic, I watch the way animals live in the wild. And on Disney Channel, I watch Hannah Montana and Zac and Cody. There's nothing educational about it, but it's just fun.

I watch for one hour a day, because I'm allowed to. On Sundays I watch two hours. My brother watches TV for at least two hours because he's very addicted to it, and my father always blames me for Aren watching TV.

Wilson's art class

I love art. I find it a lot of fun. I like trying out new things in art, such as special designs and new techniques.

Wilson's art class is in Bal Bhavan. Bal Bhavan is this place in Campal, Panjim where there are all these activities for kids. There are many activities like drawing, cricket, musical instruments, clay modelling, and many others.

My brother and me are going to join art class. My brother's going to join the juniors' art class in Bal Bhavan, one of the senior art classes for bigger children.

My brother Aren is really interested in art. If you want to see his drawings and stuff, you can go to his blog. It's http://arengoa.blogspot.com

Bal Bhavan has an art class called an advanced art course for students aged 9 to 16 years. We're going to learn about fundamentals of art, study of lines, pencil, 2D and 3D design, creativity, basics of design, water colour painting, sketching and drawing, portraiture, human figure drawing and study, calligraphy handwriting, oil painting, still-life, nature, object drawing, creative drawing, fabric painting, history of art, print making, 3D scupture, and related activities.

Students' fees are between Rs 200 to 300 per month, depending on whether you go for class once, twice or thrice a week.

I'm really looking forward to going to this art class. I hope you come for it also.

Do mermaids really exist?

Isabel's drawing of a mermaid.

I just keep wondering all the time if mermaids and fairies, and elves and pixies really exist.

I wish I had a friend like a mermaid or a fairy. A fairy that would grant me how many wishes I wanted. And a mermaid who would always keep me company and play with me; and I would share all my feelings and thoughts with her.

She would also take me under-water, and we would play in her house.

And I wish she would also get her own legs, when she comes out of the water and comes to my house. When nobody was looking, I could go under the water, and we could both sit on rocks and comb her hair.

Me and my best friend Isabelle wish that we had a fairly friend.

If there were two of them (fairies) and we could name them whatever we wanted to. They would give us wishes. They would be tiny, dainty, and pretty-looking and very kind to us.

When I go to Isabel's house, we talk about fairies and mermaids. And we wish we could go underwater and really meet them one fine day if they really do exist.

The dhabha at Moradabad

A dhabha is a place where you sit out (in the open air) and eat parathas and stuff. Parathas are a kind of chappatis (Indian bread). You get many types of parathas -- for example, aloo parathas and gobi parathas, made of potato and cauliflower respectively.

On my trip to Delhi and nearby, we also went to Moradabad. It is a place in Uttaranchal. We were there during lunch-time, so we went to this dhabha and ate parathas and stuff.

We had a lot of fun in the dhabha, because we could out in the open air and play. Moradabad was quite nice, it was not too cold or too warm. It was just nice.

We sat on the table. There was a small boy who came to take the orders. He must have been 13 or 14, and his name was Sonu. It was so funny as he would tell us all things which were not available, and we would order them, but they were not available! So then we finally ordered parathas and daal makhani (brownish daal, with fresh butter and it tastes really nice).

My brother (5) calls it "Piggy Flue"

My brother thinks that Swine Flue is called "Piggy Flue". He says that you shouldn't eat pork all the time, because you'll get "piggy flue".

My brother also thinks that sausage and salami are not pork, because it comes from a factory -- well packed. Aren also thinks that every person who gets swine flue dies.

During these days, my brother had got high fever. It kept increasing and decreasing. And he was very hot, so I thought that he had swine flue! So my parents took him to the doctor, and she (Dr Lilly) said that he had very high fever and no other problem, because he had bad tonsils.

My brother could not have cold water or any cold drinks, and pineapple juice -- which he really loves. But he got well soon, and now he's alright.

I think Swine Flue spreads around because of viruses through the air, and I think that every case of Swine Flue, people don't die. So, to avoid Swine Flue, you should not have a cold, wash your hands, and be hygienic and all that rubbish.

The Football Academy of Saligao

My grandfather (second from left) has trained some boys and girls to play football. We have matches and games. Football is a lot of fun. Specially when many children are there.

The members of the Football Academy of Saligao are: Elvis, Vishesh, Avaristo (who plays for Goa), Francisco, Abraham, Muskan, Seby, Anushka, Alister, Kevin, me, Aren and many others.

There are 20 of us in the football academy, but in the holidays nobody comes because they go for holidays (out of Goa). In the rain, we also don't play because we have to give the field back to the farmers to plant their crops.

We only play football during school days, in the evenings at 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm. I like playing football because it's a lot of fun. Sometimes I get to be the captain, and sometimes I don't.

In football, there's a goalie, a forward, etcetra.

The Secret Seven

My father had gone to Pune, and when he came back, he bought me some books.

The best book he bought me was about a mystery gang called The Secret Seven. It is written by Enid Blyton.

I like the book a lot.

The story is about six children and a dog. The children's names are Pam, Colin, Peter, Janet, etcetra. And the dog's name is Scamper.

This group, they meet up and discuss about their mysteries in a small shed where Janet and Peter live. But one day they decide that they need a better and a secret place.

So Colin has an idea, and he tells them, "We can have our meetings on a tree-house." They go to the misty woods, and try to find a proper tree, which is big enough for six of the children to fit.

Then, they find a tree, but Scamper cannot climb the tree. So, they give Scamper a small, little kennel down, and they all go up. Then they discuss what they need -- things like rope, wooden planks (for the steps), biscuits, orange-aide and lemon-aide and cushions.

So each one says what they're going to get.

But they suddenly find out that somebody else has been using their tree house....

That's how much I've read of the story.

Going back to school

My school reopens on June 6, 2009, at the start of the monsoon (rainy) season. Now I'm going to the sixth standard, VI C. There are ten standards before completing high school (Std X) in Goa. Sixth standard is in middle school.

I actually don't know where my classroom will be located, because the previous sixth standard student were only in VIA and VIB. This year we have VIC too.

I wish my class teacher is Sr Flory, or Miss Mary. Because she is very kind to me, and I like her very much. Miss Mary also is very kind.

When we go back to school, I want to meet all my friends in school. After a long holiday, we want to get together and meet each other. I am looking forward to meeting Melissia, Varuna, Rebecca and many others.

Lourdes Convent is in Saligao, and it's very close to my house. It's just a two-minute walk. I like my school very much and I'm happy to be there.

Agra fort

Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, India. The fort is also known as Lal Qila, Fort Rouge and Red Fort of Agra. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its much more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city.

It is the most important fort in India. The great Mughals Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jehangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb lived here, and the country was governed from here. It contained the largest state treasury and mint. It was visited by foreign ambassadors, travellers and the highest dignitaries who participated in the making of history in India.

Agra fort

Panch Mahal

Panch Mahal: A five-storied palatial structure. The bottom floor has 176 intricately carved columns.

Panch Mahal is a five-storey palace in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Also known as "Badgir", which means windcatcher/tower. Panch Mahal stands close to the Zeenana quarters or Harem and that supports the fact that it acted as a pleasure palace. This is an extraordinary structure, entirely columnar, consisting of four storeys of decreasing size disposed asymmetrically upon a ground floor, which contains 84 columns. The pillars that originally had Jaalis between them support the whole structure.Once these screens provided purdah (cover) to queens and princess on the top terraces enjoying the cool breezes and watching splendid views of Sikri fortifications and the town nestling at the foot of the ridge.

The pavilion gives a majestic view of the fort that lays on its left. It is built by Akbar and only took 10 years to build the whole city.

Fatehpur Sikri...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatehpur_Sikri
Fatehpur Sikri (Hindi: फतेहपूर सिकरी, Urdu: فتحپور سیکری) is a city and a municipal board in Agra district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The historical city was constructed by Mughal emperor Akbar beginning in 1570 and served as the empire's capital from 1571 until 1585, when it was abandoned for reasons that remain unclear. The surviving palace and mosque are a tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ghaznin gate...

Agra fort... for sure!

The magnificient Taj Mahal

Agra fort...

Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buland_Darwaza
Buland Darwaza (Hindi: बुलंद दरवाज़ा) meaning 'high' or 'great' gate in Persian, is the largest of gateways in the world. It is located in Fatehpur Sikri which is located 43 km away from Agra, India. It is also known as the "Gate of Magnificence".

A visit to the Taj

Everybody knows that the Taj Mahal is in Agra, and the Taj Mahal is very beautiful. The carvings in the Taj Mahal look so beautiful -- they are shaped into beautiful flowers.

During my summer vacations, we went to Delhi, Uttaranchal and Agra.

Outside the Taj Mahal, there were many shops. Selling different items like the Taj Mahal (minature) made out of marble, small boxes to keep ear-rings and stuff with semi-precious stones in them.

My brother brought a magnet of the Taj Mahal for the fridge, and I bought a small marble box with semi-precious stones in, and it looks very pretty.

When we went to the Taj Mahal, we were shocked to see it. It looks very pretty, and we were very happy to see it. Our hotel was not very far from the Taj. It was just a five minute's walk.

From our hotel, we could see the tip of the Taj Mahal.

People there were very nice. They were kind and they talked very politely. After seeing the Taj Mahal, we left our hotels and went to see Agra Fort. Agra Fort was amazingly huge and very pretty.

We did not finish the full fort, because on that same day we had to leave back for Delhi by car.

My best friend comes to Goa

My best friend's name is Isabel and she stays in Bangalore. For her summer vacations, she comes to Goa. She arrived on April 4, one day before I was supposed to leave for Delhi.

I told her I would come back soon to play with her, and that we could all meet up.

When I came back from Delhi, we met up together quite often and had a lot of fun. We got to the pool together, and she comes over and I also go there (to her house at Porvorim). She's a very nice girl, and never is bad to me.

I think she's nice because she thinks wisely, is very polite, and her nature is very nice. She's also a very smart girl, and reads a lot. She loves reading; her hobbies are reading and swimming.

My whole gang -- includes Abigail, Gabbi, Heidi and me (besides Isabel) -- everybody likes Isabel because she's very polite and smart. Although she doesn't live in our village, we all meet up quite often.

We're planning to start a girl's band, but we have to think a bit more about it. Because of the meeting-up thing, we could end up with one person less.

Lassie comes home

On December 6, 2008, my school held a 100-metres run for all age groups at the Saligao Seminary (on the hill, where they have a big playground). I too went for the race. My mother took me for it.

When the race was over, I saw this lady carrying four cute little puppies in her hand, with the Seminary boys also holding the pups. I said the pups were so cute. She asked me, "Would you like one?"

I had been waiting for a pup for a long time, so I asked my mother if I could have one. My mother said I could; so I told her yes.

She asked me if I would want a girl pup or boy pup. I told her I wanted a girl, since I'm more found of girl pups. I'm a girl, so I like a girl pup and all that.

Then I brought Lassie home and gave her a nice cosy basked from London. The basket was too big, and she didn't like it. So we put her into a small shoe box where she could fit.

When she grew bigger, she used to sleep in the basket and she used to like it very much. But now she likes sleeping in her little rug.

She's a very friendly dog. She jumps on everybody and starts licking them, and she's made friends with most of the dogs in the street -- Blackie (her best friend), and Kelly, and Smokie, and Dino. But she doesn't like Digby because he bit her.

She met with two accidents so far, that's because she just runs across the road without looking. But now she's trained, and when a motorbike comes, she goes to the side of the road.

Me, with a jackfruit ("the largest tree-borne fruit in the world")

FROM WIKIPEDIA: The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a species of tree of the mulberry family (Moraceae) native to parts of South and Southeast Asia. It is well suited to tropical lowlands. Its fruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world^[1], seldom less than about 25 cm (10 in) in diameter. Even a relatively thin tree, around 10 cm (4 in) diameter, can bear large fruit. The fruits can reach 36 kg (80 lbs) in weight and up to 90 cm (36 in) long and 50 cm (20 in) in diameter. The jackfruit is something of an acquired taste, but it is very popular in many parts of the world. The sweet yellow sheaths around the seeds are about 3–5 mm thick and have a taste similar to that of pineapple, but milder and less juicy.

My trip to Delhi

In my summer vacations, I went to Delhi with my mother and my brother.

First we went to Uttaranchal, and stayed in four places, for a week. Then, after that, we came back to Delhi.

In Delhi, we saw the Red Fort, and outside Delhi we saw Fatehpur Sikri, the Taj Mahal, Agra fort ...

The weather in Delhi was 41 deg Celsius, and it was very hot there. But I was not sweating, because the heat was dry heat. Delhi is a crowded place, but we had a lot of fun there. In Uttaranchal, we went to Corbett, and saw the Jim Corbett National Park. In Corbett, the weather was very nice and cool. The second place we went to was Mukteshwar. It was 10 degrees Celsius, but later it became just 5 deg C. We were shivering. There was also a hail-storm there. A hail-storm is when it rains and ice falls from the sky.



Where we stayed, in Naukuchiatal. Photo: http://www.holidayiq.com/destinations/Naukuchiatal-Overview.html

---

We also went to Naukuchiatal, and the weather was a little cold but nice. We went by a shinkara boat, for a ride. We also went for horse-rides. After that, we went to Nainital, and there was this huge road called the Mall Road. It's not actually malls, but a lot of shops. There too we drove a horse. The horse's name was Gulfan. We met a dog called Lali, in Nainital. And in Naukuchiatal, we met a dog called, strangely, "Panther".

Then we came back to Delhi.
