CONSERVATION OF WETLANDS Behold how wonderful they make our Earth look… Like the favourite page of my favourite book, The Blue waters drive us to speak the truth, The Green neighbors thrives us to struggle for Peace Pursuit! Home for abundant tiny little creatures, Gate-way to amazing Aquatic features, They at times may look flooded areas of land, But they have vegetation of trees and reeds in bands! The Dawn reflection on that lake, Rings the Marines; it's time to play, Green trees feel the layer of peace as they wake, A small Wetland; flourishes living reasons to be happy and gay! The deepest depth of the Pacific Ocean, Or the Himalayas Glaciers in their slowest motion, All enthralled by the Wetland beauty, Adds innumerable numerality of Nature's duty!! Building big dams, cities, cutting greens, you feel you are making development concrete? Alas! Only if you knew, you are destroying your own self with utmost grit!! Watch out humans, time is watching you; See the changing climate, She shall not spare you!! Save your ecosystems, the forests, grasslands, swamps, bogs, marshes; You won’t be given a chance, when civilization crashes!! Come let’s understand how beautiful ecology works, They are more interconnected, than your web networks!! Nature, She harness’ us- Her protection is our duty, let’s not run away from our share; Let’s take a pledge, learn more of and from our environment, Spread awareness, save living souls and take more care!!

Go Corona Go Go Corona go! Why are you so slow? Thought the vaccines will overpower you But now you have come up with your nephew. Your virus is so annoying you get irritated without knowing. With people encrusted in their fears kids are trapped in their tears. Namish Chugh IVA2 www.indraprasthaschool.com Vol. 2.01 APRIL 2021 Page 26

MOM Beaming with pride, confidence on her face, Attired in formals, walking orotund, She shoots into her cabin, a straight bullet, All her sub-ordinates repoting to her, Always checking mails, busy on calls, Efficiency her strategy, great among all, On MOTHER’s day, I visited her, I was kept on wait for a restless hour, I assessed her there in a different manner, Amazing I saw, a wonderful planner, Wait was over, I was called in, Her meeting over, a fading din, She rose from her seat, shut the door, Now she was a MOTHER, a boss no more, She hugged me tight, kissed me warm, That day a thing was realised by me, Sandwiched between home and office, was she, Respect grew more, a wonderful plight, My MOTHER, a superwoman, is my pride.

Do you know this magnificent place, Filled with heritage, culture and grace. It's India, the most beautiful country you have ever seen To tell you more about its astonishing facts, I am so keen. The beauty of this country comes from those who protect it That's why we can sleep without getting worried about it. Mother India is their mother and they are her son With courage ready to protect our nation wearing boots and gun. Do you know about Siachen which is at a really high peak and is extremely cold? To go at that place, you have to be really bold. Even extremes of the nature cannot stop a soldier to serve his motherland, Even if his body gets buried in the sand. The soldiers are the brave people who serve our nation , For us they even sacrifice their life without hesitation. Soldiers are the warriors who are not scared of death, They fight for us until their last breath. Soldiers are the brave people who never let their mother India cry, They constantly remain in our hearts, and never die. When soldiers can sacrifice so much for the nation Then what is a common man's contribution? It's our nation it's our duty To improve our nation's beauty. Let's have some realization There are some duties we have for our nation. Do not just sit and play the blame game Do some work for the nation's fame. When a solider can bleed and die for his nation, Then we can also in our work bring passion. So, let's all take this oath We will contribute in mother India's growth.

Mahatma Gandhi’s Life Inspires Me To… Mahatma Gandhi’s life inspires me to Never tell a lie and always speak truth. Bapu always said, “Whenever you are in doubt about an action, Think about the poorest person you met. Will it do him harm or give him satisfaction?” Non-violent and truthful, he was the one. Guns, knives, swords, he used none. He had a great personality. He was peaceful and calm. But at times if he wanted to, He could be firm. He is called the Father of the Nation, As he fought not only against the British, but also against poverty, inequality and discrimination. We can all be Bapu, with just a little effort. By standing up for the disadvantaged and helping the needy, By following the ideology of truth and non-violence, We can help everybody.

Book of life A thick blank book with nothing inside, With the front and back page labelled as life. With introduction written as ‘fill it as you wish’ It’s your life that you have to flourish. It can be filled with sadness, it’s your choice, Or with happiness or with noise, Just remember a very important thing, Don’t blame others for how you are feeling. Whatever you do you get it back, It may be good things or may be bad, It’s called karma which may not be that fast Confidence But it will surely happen till you last. People may always try to bring you down, You can have an exciting life or a bland one, And that’s cause they think you are better than them, Live your day like it is your last, Just shrug your shoulder or give them a frown, Cause you should know you are an amazing gem. And keep having fun! TISYA SIKRI Whenever you know that you are right, 9B1 And people don’t believe what you say, Don’t back down and continue to fight And you will prove them wrong by the end of the day. All you need is a little confidence, To say what’s on your mind, And sharing your opinion isn’t a criminal offense So come on, don’t be shy. Confidence is something we all may not possess, Whether we have it or not, it is the key to success. TISYA SIKRI 9B1 www.indraprasthaschool.com Vol. 2.01 APRIL 2021 Page 29
A GLIMPSE OF 2021 IN 1997 Last year, when the government called for a nationwide lockdown, the schooling system had to be shifted to an online platform. Since then, students have been attending online classes and giving online exams. Recently, an Archie comic strip published in 1997 has gone viral for its accurate prediction of online education almost 25 years ago. It depicted Betty cooper’s life as in 2021 AD. In the comic strip, Betty has to sit in front of her video monitor that has to remain uncovered at all times. Her parents feel that Betty is lucky because she neither has to carry books to school nor worry about the weather. It also shows that school has been converted into a school museum since the education system has shifted online. In one of her dialogues, Betty also admits that she wants to return to her conventional high school. People have excitedly taken to the internet to put in their takes about the comic strip and its freaking prediction.
