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.
  The Lady in Red by Neil Rinaz.  GC# 24151, 8th grade As the leaves retreated in the winter and settled on the sidewalks, the cold, grey fog of monsoon took their place upon the spindly branches. Great globs of icy water fell from the clouds, slowly at first, then pouring down in massive splashes, soaking the leaves and making them gleam in the tiny sliver of light that pushed through the stormy clouds. After a brief gridlock of honking vehicles, the flooded streets were utterly deserted. All except for one silhouette. From close enough you could make out that she wore a red dress and was not completely under the protection of her pitch-black umbrella, as though trying to enjoy the rain. The raindrops beat down on her nylon umbrella, creating dull thunk sounds discernible even in the storm. The half-drenched lady walked, almost joyfully, into the cold, grey mist, until gradually, her silhouette diffused into it. She had vanished.

Lolly-pop!
