Anecdote ~ Coin / Gurpreet Kaur

 Anecdote from My Memory

~ Gurpreet Kaur ~

It was evening get-together of few girls of our school and few girls of host schools in the dormatry we were staying.

It's a casual and friendly chat after the day excursions ( basketball matches cluster level )

I was listening too, sitting on the allotted bed.

They talked about the previous visits, hostel stories, classroom ventures, etc.

And girly talk turned to something ghastly, of course, that was part of their hostel journey.

She had learnt this new from where, Nobody knows.

May have practiced many times.

Some game like Ouija board, planchette with coin, calling spirits.

That day she and her friend did it.

They called the spirit as said.

But, unfortunately, the matron had arrived to make the mess of their fun. 

In bewilderment, she threw that coin out of the window.

Night passed.

Next morning, she found that coin by her shelf.

And from that time she started behaving weird.

She tried to jump from one double decker bed to the another.

She tried to touch the moving fan.

She was getting worse day by day. 

Consequently, She sent to her home by calling her parents.

What become of her, I don't know.

It is said that she suffered because of her inability to sent the spirit back in due time.

Article ~ 'Gardening as a Hobby'

   "Do you love to do Gardening?" ~ By Gurpreet Kaur ~ " The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies."                                        -  Gertrude Jekyll Many of you love mowing your garden, trimming the hedge. How amazing feeling it is when your sown seed germinates & turned into a sapling. It's delicate green leaves breaths fresh life. You water it with your hands. Add manure time to time And within weeks/months it becomes a mature grown plant/tree with flowers and fruits.  I remember my school days, how we spent our time in gardening activity. Frankly speaking, I don't personally like doing it. But we all students  have to do it as its a necessary activity to do and it has great  importance in our Co-curricular grades. Making flower beds with stones and bricks, tilling, weeding, planting and sowing, watering the plants, Uprooting u...

Poetry ~ "Love is a Discovery" / Chelsea Stawicki

Sometimes I wish you were here, Waiting for that gentle touch my dear. I walk alone these misty roads to find what I had lost, Is my own body a prison as I am being covered in frost? The falling snow can bring a sense of hope like tiny stars, Falling from the sky I open my hands up to make me think if this is ours? I begin to think why I felt so hollow? Not only because of my sorrow. Am I just waiting for tomorrow? Maybe one day you and I can follow. Image credit : Unsplash At least I give you a smile, Even if you think it is worthwhile. You may not be here anymore, With your wings until you soar. A heart can be black like night, But a soul can guide you to the light. I always wanted to give you something special, To make it official. Whenever I think of you, I don’t just think it is something new, Because I know it is true, Each star is like you. A star in the sky, Those beautiful wings when you fly, Don’t be so shy, There’s nothing wrong with saying goodbye. Someday… I will fly with ...
