Never More

 



Never More by Dhrupad Rishav (19148) grade 12


Never More
Will there be any walking in the park...


Or any loitering on the streets
Or any roaming in bazaars!

Never More
Will you see your friends’ faces again
For every person far and wide
Will be veiled behind a mask!

Never More
Will you breathe the same again knowing
The air will never be the same!

You’re going to rot!
You’ll fall apart!
You’ll drown in soap!
You’ll lose all hope!

Never again
Will you see people!
They’ll just be blurry faces
Stuck inside an online portal!

Never more
Will there be any walking in the park
Or any loitering on the streets
Or any roaming in bazaars!

Never more
Will you breathe the same again knowing
The air will never be the same!

You’ll start to feel
Isolated
Suffocated
and completely
Alienated

You’ll become
Fossilized
Immobilized
Calcified
Ossified

Never Again
Will you venture out of your door
Isolation is what
The future has in store!

You’ll forget all the faces
You used to know
You’ll never see the spaces
You used to go!

No one to talk to!
Nowhere to go to!
Your mind will melt,
And your heart will freeze!

Never More
Will it be the same!
Never More!
Never More!

A Visit to Imagica Theme Park

  A Visit to Imagica Theme Park by Eva Kumar (29029) Grade 2 My trip to Imagica Theme Park. I went to Imagica with my brother, parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt and cousin. I made friends with a boy named Arjun there. My father told me that I will meet him (Arjun is the son of my father’s friend). Arjun and I went on almost every ride together. We had lots of fun on the rides. One of the memorable rides was a Mr. India ride. I felt like we flew around Imagica. But my favourite ride was Humpty’s Fall. It has a set of seats attached to a huge column. The seats go up high and come back down. I enjoyed the amazing view from the top.   I liked that ride so much that I wish to go there again. There also was a cafe. We had delicious food and refreshing drinks. It was so much fun. When I visit my grandparents’ house again, I would like to go back there. This time, I want to visit the snow park.

Recognition

By Surya Krishna (12G) & Ishita Kanchan (11M) A cool gust of wind blew her hair back. Her eyes were green and empty as she surveyed her surroundings, trying to notice the smallest change in demeanour in any of the hundreds around her. There was loud music and shouting all around her, but she’d learnt to shut it out. She was waiting for it to happen. It always happened. She didn’t flinch as a car exploded down the street. That was expected. She side- stepped the two brawling men as they fell towards her. Her nostrils flared in annoyance. As soon as the clock tower’s hand hit twelve, she heard it. The only sound she could hear. She whipped around, to see the only face she cared to see. There he was. Just as always, just as she had expected, he was there. But this time, there was something different about him. He still possessed his muscular physique, his messy black hair and his alluring hazel eyes which always pulled her to the clock tower every night. But when she looked into them...
