The feeling of happiness and feeling of joy
But my eyes gleam with tears
Yes, it is that time of the year!
My children, my students
will move to the next grade
They are excited along with their peer
Yes, it is that time of the year!
Classrooms look deserted without
Their chirpy chitchat
The shelves look empty and the green board is clear
Yes, it is that time of the year!
“I will miss you ma’am” and
“Ma’am, will you remember me”?
These phrases are now what I hear
Yes, it is that time of the year!
The hugs and cards express
Their unconditional love for me
I will miss them, it is evidently clear
Yes, it is that time of the year!
As we wind up the school year
They carry everything back home
These cherished memories are so very dear
Yes, It is that time of the year!
I will wait to welcome them again
and together we will start our journey afresh
For now, I will relish their laughter and cheer
Yes, it is that time of the year!

Mythology books can be very mysterious and thrilling to a bored mind. I love reading mythology books and Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase are two of the most loved book series in the world. But have we ever thought about the author of these superb books?
I now present to you…… Rick Riordan! He is an American author who loves to publish books on Greek and Egyptian myths, with detestable villains, lovable heroes, mystery, magic, action, vengeance, and romance. What more could we ask for!?
Several of my classmates (including myself) and a few higher grades are engrossed in reading this spectacular series, which is why I have chosen to blog on this topic.
Percy Jackson is a 12-year-old boy who discovers he is the modern-day son of a Greek God – Poseidon. Magnus Chase is a 16-year-old boy who discovers he is the Norse demigod and a maternal cousin of Percy’s niece. This brings in the connection between Egyptian and Greek history.
In these adventures, Percy or Magnus go with their demigod and satyr friends to help save the world from ancient evil spirits lurking in the shadows slowly gaining power to rise and attack.
Over two million people like Riordan’s books which shows how amazing Riordan’s books are! So, I recommend you read these fantastic series and later share your experience with the world!

In the hushed embrace of an Indian evening, our journey began, a symphony of anticipation orchestrated by the hum of jet engines and the flutter of boarding passes. The promise of adventure beckoned from distant shores as we boarded our flight bound for the United Kingdom, our hearts aflutter with dreams of far-off lands and newfound horizons. But as we soared through the velvet sky, a foreboding shadow loomed on the horizon, a harbinger of the chaos that was soon to unfold. In the blink of an eye, the tranquil serenity of our airborne sanctuary was shattered by a deafening crack, a burst of purple lightning that danced across the heavens with an otherworldly fervour. The air crackled with electricity as the plane shuddered beneath the force of the storm, its metal frame quivering in defiance against the tempestuous onslaught. And then, in a heart-stopping moment of sheer terror, the heavens unleashed their fury upon us, casting our fragile vessel into a maelstrom of chaos and uncertainty. The sky darkened to a shade of ominous charcoal as the winds howled with a primal ferocity, tearing at the wings of our faltering craft with savage intent. The cabin was awash with panicked cries and frantic prayers as we clung to our seats with white-knuckled desperation, each passing moment stretching into eternity.
And then, as if mocking our feeble attempts at control, the plane tilted almost 180 degrees, its nose plummeting towards the earth with a sickening lurch. Time seemed to stand still as we hurtled towards the ground, our fate hanging in the balance as the world spun wildly out of control. But just when all hope seemed lost, a glimmer of salvation emerged from the chaos, a beacon of light amidst the encroaching darkness. With a mighty roar, the engines surged to life once more, their thunderous symphony drowning out the cacophony of the storm as we clawed our way back from the brink of oblivion. As the storm clouds parted and the sun cast its golden rays upon the horizon, we emerged battered but unbroken, our spirits buoyed by the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity. And though our journey had been fraught with peril and uncertainty, we emerged from the crucible of the skies stronger and more resilient than ever before. For in the crucible of adversity, we discovered the true measure of our strength, our courage, and our unwavering determination to defy the odds and chart our course through the tempestuous seas of life. As we touched down on solid ground once more, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the world around us, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human soul.
