Us and Them.

He staggered towards the only support-a broken pole which stood there.He felt the blood gushing out from his right ankle and his throat was burning.He looked at the vast graveyard man had dug for themselves and he regretted the decision he took that morning-to fight for his country.He knew that was the most unpatriotic thought that could come into his mind but he didn't care.He was ready to forgive and forget.Far off he saw a man getting up..holding his gun in the left hand.He thought to himself"so who are the good guys us or them?"

He saw the man on the other side with his ankle hurt.He knew he had to take revenge.He had the gun in his hand.He had to kill the remaining man.He saw his pleading eyes but his mind told him to just shoot him.The trigger went off and the man fell to the floor.He smiled to himself proud of what he had just done.His enemy was dead.

He remembered that day so well like it had just happened yesterday.He thought how foolish he was to not even think once before he shot.He found it hard to breathe..he couldn't battle with time..he was old ."So who lost now?"he asked himself and he knew the answer.He took in the last breath and he lay there motionless-all alone.He had nobody.He was punished.And he knew it.

Leotards,Stilettos and the Shiny Swords!

We had less than a month to prepare for the Grade 12 farewell and we had no clue what to do!
Well there were many things on our minds and with more than 30 students doing it together it was a Herculean task.Well i being the stupid one decided to put my name for the dance..and gosh what a big mistake that was!Well i just wanted to have fun and that's not what i exactly experienced.When i entered the dance room with Sahitia who was VERY encouraging,my stomach started doing something!i wouldn't move at all and i felt like such an idiot.I remember begging Anusha to take me into the choir.
The next dance practice wasn't all that bad..and you know what?i kind of enjoyed it.I had fun with my stunt partner Sahitia and we got to do our very own stunt at the beginning of the song!

The day finally arrived and there i was with my straightened hair(thank you Shruti!)and in an indian attire.We all looked so pretty!



Well we did so much but i am just too lazy to put that down here.

Farewell was great and an unforgettable evening for various reasons:)
