After hundred days of rain,
Come the sunshine of hope.
Finally, something to gain,
Now there’s no need to mope.
After hundred days of rain,
The sunshine dries the ground.
Though water had filled the drain,
The sunshine was finally found.
After hundred days of rain,
Now there is fear of drought!
Destroyed, was the grain,
In the river, not even a trout!
After hundred days of rain,
There was no need to fear.
Enough water had filled the drain, Far and near.
The sunshine of hope, And the gain of rain,
Enlightened the people, After a hundred days of rain
Have you ever seen a cheetah running in the forest? With a top speed of 60 miles per hour, it can catch any of its prey. While they may seem to have such a huge advantage you may expect them to be somewhere at the top of the food chain! The sad truth is that they’re not, in fact, there are only 7,100 cheetahs remaining in the whole world. What is causing them to go up the path of extinction? It is not nature, it's humans. Their natural habitats are dying and slowly shrinking, they have no prey to hunt as a result of humans hunting for pleasure, and on top of that, there is also the illegal poaching of cheetah cubs in which many die. These creatures have stayed within their boundaries and did what was needed to survive but now their future remains uncertain and it seems as if they are forced to run towards their death. These magnificent creatures that have fur dusted with gold and piercing amber eyes, have looked upon many troubled times and have faced near-death. These lightning-quick animals which once walked the earth in huge numbers are being reduced day by day. We don't have any right to bring upon the extinction of the cheetahs or any animal for that matter. Over-hunting, poaching, destroying natural habitats-This is a result of human greed and has to be battled against. There are already many leading organizations that specifically work on getting the number of cheetahs back to normal and we must try our best to do everything in our power to support their cause. In the end, it's very simple, if we leave these creatures undisturbed they will repopulate again and their race will be saved. So let's Save cheetahs and pledge to let them live a peaceful life.
Projects can be interesting!

Usually, projects are learning experiences that engage us with research and analysis, supplementing the lessons we learn in our subject areas. These activities help us develop our imaginative and creative side too. It, however, needs a lot of patience and time for completion. Some of us get engrossed in them, while some of us find them to be a burden.
I usually like spending my spare time doing something other than “projects” but my perspectives on projects changed after the project “Meme Creation”. This project was initiated by our social science teacher, Ms. Rupjyoti.
“ Meme creation” was a project whose objective was to help us develop our creativity as well as relate history to current times. This project also served as a medium to explore a topic related to our academics in detail and learn new aspects of it which gave us a better understanding of the topic. We were allowed to choose any topic from our history and civics chapters and present it humorously.
I am a very patriotic person, and therefore I believe that it is my duty to know about our country, its laws, and the constitution. Not just for academic benefit but also out of curiosity, I like studying civics. Hence, I chose the chapter “ fundamental rights and duties.” from civics, blended history into it, and created a “meme” out of it.
My interest in environmental science and ecology made me research the amount of pollution in our country and I discovered that the Taj Mahal in Agra will turn yellow soon due to acid rain and pollution. This persuaded and encouraged me to bring out the issue of pollution sarcastically and hence I chose this topic. Enclosed is the meme I created. Shah Jahan is truly upset that his masterpiece is under threat!!! Spotlighting and emphasizing such topics is important; what better way than humor to create awareness of our fundamental duties towards the environment.
I also enjoyed observing the memes curated by my peers. I must admit that their work highlights their individuality and brings out their insightful nature which excites me to interact with them. Some of my peers chose topics within modern history and the British era, while some of them explored topics related to traditional Indian culture and composite culture. Some liked to emphasize specific personalities like the imperial Mughals or the clever Britishers.
I would like to acknowledge their efforts for this project and make it decidedly, the most fun and memorable project for me.
