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 ~ "Moonflower" / Chelsea Stawicki

Gentle enough so nightly, One star from above forms something so brightly, As the storm rolls with a single tear so gently. That cold tear doesn't just fade away, As it turns from blue to gray, Just tell me you will stay. Help me bloom to become like you, Something beautiful, something new... I won't just be one thing to be true. I will show you something different, Something magnificent! When you cry I awaken to bring you more, After all, you are adored. I will shine and glow, So I become white like the snow, During the night I will grow, Just like time and space from long ago. I am your reflection, I am beside you giving you affection, No matter where you are I give you my protection. We are beautiful, Pure and peaceful, Soul and wonderful. Goodnight my friend, I am here until the end, As we ascend, Hand by hand, Together. By Chelsea Stawicki

Poetry ~ "Arrival of Death" / Gurpreet Kaur

It comes on its tip toes,  Making some unrecognisable  uneasiness in the surroundings.  Cause of aftermath is  just an illusion.        Image credit : Unsplash.com Ultimate goal is in full motion.  Within a blink, passiveness  spreads, silencing everything..  About the Poem   The poem is based on the unexpected arrival of death. The whole scene happens in a spontaneous movement.
