CHASTE GANGES {16} Ronav was surprised to see Nithyayuvani sitting in the living room. ‘Hey, you are early today. When did you come?’ he asked kissing her forehead. He was heading towards the bedroom when she called out to him. ‘We have to talk,’ she said looking straight into his eyes. ‘Sure, let me freshen up. I will be back.’ ‘Ron, this is important,’ she said in a strained voice. His eyes widened with surprise. ‘Are you pregnant?’ ‘Yeah, with Brad Pitt’s twins!’ came her instant reply. ‘No wonder, Angelina Jolie is divorcing him!’ he said guffawing at her. She rolled her eyes and let out a long drawn breath.

HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” - William Arthur Ward Teachers have been pivotal in keeping the spirit of knowledge alive and burning in our hearts. They inspire us to create our own way and surge ahead even when there is no path before us. Today, let us take this opportunity to thank all the teachers who have touched our lives. This poem is dedicated to all the teachers and especially the ones who shaped my life. A Promise I was an aimless butterfly With no goal to fly. You made me a bee Gathering the nectar of knowledge. I was a pebble Among sand and gravel, You made me shine A diamond, forever I will shine. You showed me the way With opportunities as wings, You inspired me to fly For the stars are within my reach! My parents, Gave me life. My teachers, Made me discover life....
