Some days I ago,I read one story from book whose author is Dr.I.K.Vijliwala. It was really nice and inspired story,I am presenting its review here.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

The story is about the boy named Howard Kelly who was very poor and he was orphan. To pay his school fees he was doing job of hawker.

One day from the morning he was selling things but his luck was bad. No one was interested to buy anything from him. It was noon time and even he was very tired. At last, he saw a house and he knocked the door. One beautiful lady came out. Kelly asked her if she want to buy anything. The lady enthusiastically bought so many things. Kelly felt very happy but her tummy started complaining .He asked the lady if she give her one glass water.The lady knew that Kelly was very tired and hungry so she offered him food but he rejected. The lady was impressed by Kelly and she found solution. She gave him one glass of milk.

After so many years the lady suffered with big disease. No one was able to find solution. After great trouble the doctor transferred her for treatment to the big hospital. There they found solutions. Slowly and gradually she became normal. But she was worried about bill. When Clark gave her bill it was written
"bill paid. One glass of milk paid everything." - Dr. Howard Kelly...

The lady got so emotional. Kelly's sign was wet by tears of lady....

My Ma'am - Happy Birthday:-)

My Ma'am

I thought very much while I was writing about ma'am. Its hard to explain in my small words. She is the only one whom I respect,whom I call ma'am. Generally for the Gujarati medium student English subject is very irritating and it was also irritating for me from the 1st std. as I am in Gujarati medium. If someone told me to write some thing in English I got threatened.

I remember that when I was going to the English tuition, one day teacher told me to write a story. fuuuu!!! I went home and cried a lot that I don't want to write a story and finally copied from storybook.

Afterwards one aunty who was living near our house,advised my mom to take me to the Ilaxi ma'am. First time when I met her She sweetly asked me my name and my standard. After one month I joined 'Swagat children library'.

I was feeling very odd on the first day as I found ma'am very strict. Day passed by slowly and gradually I understood that how lucky I am! who got teacher like Ilaxi ma'am.

Each and every class is very special for me. I learn so many things. I even had Personality development class with her. I learnt good manners, how to talk to parents and elders, how to present on stage confidently, voice modulation and many other things. She is the one made me discover my inner strength and motivated me. When I was attending English tuition earlier, at some other class, teacher was complaining my mom that Tulsa is very weak,she didn't have concentration in class etc. But no one try to understood me.I am glad Ilaxi ma'aam believed me.

After joining 'Swagat children library' I found real teacher who was Ilaxi ma'am. I found joy of giving. It is not tuition its like a fun and learn class. Study and Fun both we enjoy in class. After sometime I have started speaking in English and reading novels. Whenever I found my mood off , I did her homework and automatically my mood was on!! Everyone was telling me that I am nothing. But after joining class I came out from all this. I feel proud that I am able to speak in English though I am in Gujarati medium, I am blogger. All this credit goes to Ilaxi ma'am. I am proud to be her student. I feel today that I am something. I have my own Identity.

I was like a 'Duffer girl' but ma'am fully changed me. I took inspiration from her. She is Content manager and works day in and out. Earlier she was Official Blogger and VA of M.J.Akbar. She has so many blogs and writes on different topics like politics, health, kids etc. She spend Saturdays for Swagat children since over 20 years. She types very fluently with great speed. She is house wife too and manage all things on her own. Her life is full of inspirations. I never felt bore while doing her any work.

I haven't more words to write about her. She is the one who has taken place in my heart. After god and my family. She is the most lovely, important, unforgettable, respectable person in my life. She changed my life and way of living.

My dream is to make her proud and write a book on her when I grow up. Today 22 October is her birthday. I haven't any precious gift to give her. So I gift this article to her.

Thank you ma'am for making me believe in myself.

I took inspiration from Abraham Lincoln

It was my bad day .From morning my mood was off .I found something to be irritating that day.It was Tuesday evening and I was ready to go in music class.

I went to music class. All of a sudden sir announced our result .Oh!! My heart beat began to pounce up & down. And at last it happened. I got little bad marks. I was very sad. Even my concentration was not there in the music.

While in car I scarcely told my mom. But she told me not to worry as my music exam was after one week than school exams so I have only week for preparations. And I got bad marks. Mom and daddy spent there money and time for music class though I didn't satisfied them even. All the time while in car I was thinking like that.

Another day I went to school. I also told ma best friend. She tried a lot get my mood on. But I was in a deep thinking. The school starts with S.S. period. Sir entered in the class. While talking about U.S.A suddenly he started talking about Abraham Lincoln with us.

He told a short story of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham was very weak during his school time. He was being unsuccessful in each & every election. Though confidently and luckily he stood up for election of president. Every one who knows Abraham believed that this time he is also going to be failed. The people who was oppose to him, was announcing that Abraham is very weak, to be fail is only in his luck. He is not able to be a President so doesn’t vote him. This inspired people. And Abraham won the election. According to that there is none President till today who got as much votes as Abraham Lincoln.

Woo!! I felt very nice and relieved. Every worst incident teaches us new lessons of life. I learn that experience is a best teacher. Life is series of experience, each one makes us bigger.

My visit to Mundra

As it was my charming day, I was very excited because our principal informed us than we are going to visit at Mundra for 2 days - 29th and 30th August. I packed my bag and collected all the things which are useful in the journey. Our Principal announced that our journey is about 9 hours so all students have to reach at school on early morning at 5'0 clock.

The way to Mundra was awesome. There was lush, green forest, greenery.... Wow it -was like - there is no words to appreciate it. And the rain was addicting beauty in it. Even in the bus we enjoyed too much. We played Damsheraz, Antakshari, Wordsearch etc. So our time was spend very easily. In the afternoon at 2:30 we reached at the hotel of Adani. The hotel was very huge, the rooms of the hotel was also very big and nice and food was delicious.

After taking our lunch we started our journey to Mundra Port. But unluckily the rain started so guide of Adani announced that they show full port from the bus. There was huge and so many trucks in the port. It was constructed on the bank of the sea. The guide also showed us one of their steamer. The wealth of steamer was 900 crores and they have 15 steamers. Oh my god!!!

Afterwards we went to the hotel. We took our dinner. We watched the slide show of Adani. Then we went to our room. Our principal and hotel manager was thinking that we were in extreme deep sleep but no, that night was full of gossip. We played cards,share our facts,eat chocolates,biscuits and waffers. It was the one of my best night with my friends.

On the other day after taking breakfast we visited oil refinery. It was very large and reputed refinery of Adani. We saw how they make tin pots,how they give shape to tin pots,how they make the top and the bottom of tin pots,how they feel oil in the tin pots and bottles. And all this happen because of machines. They use small car to move bottles and tin pots of oil. There was spacious machines and different tipe of oil.

Afterwards we returned at A'bad. A visit to Mundra was very knowledgeable. We got knowledge how machine works. We also came to know that the world is progressing too much.

It is good to have money and the things that money can buy.But it is good, too,to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy...

If we cannot luv the person whom we see so how can we luv the god whom we cannot see..

Three sentence for getting sucess:

Work more than other
Expect less than other

If u win you need not explain...But if u lose you should not be there to explain.

The most difficult face on life is not when no one understand you; It is when you don't understand yourself.

Don't change with the change but change before the change.

Life is not matter of milestones but of moments.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

My first Poetry - Carried my poetry in my bag

Last Saturday, 16th April 2011, we had 'Carry your Poetry in your Bag/pocket Day'. We had so much fun learning 'How to write a poetry'. We enjoyed the Poetry writing session and learned how to rhyme words and build our vocabulary. We tried to write our own poetry - my first creation and I gifted this poetry sheet to my friend.
Please read my poetry below:

My Teacher

Thank you Mam, to step into my world,
And bring brightness in my mind
I love to do the work you give me,
Wondering and writing it with full of glee.

You are the best teacher in the world,
But it's not enough to say in my little words
I promise to make you feel proud one day,
I hope it turns too fast some day.

Gandhiji

Gandhiji, a man of principles,
self made was he,
He fought for our freedom,
Made India Free.

How did he lead freedom revolution,
Truth and violence was the key,
The Britishers' got fright of the nation,
That made them flee.

(Poetry written on 16th April 2011 at the Swagat class 'Carry a poetry in your bag day' )

I became a Leader - I managed my Library Class

I became a Leader!

It was a shiny, bright day that Saturday on 19th February. My eyes blinked at the tic-toc of the watch and eagerly waited for the clock to strike 3.00 so that I can rush for the Library class. Since a year, I am so attached to my Library and love to be there amidst all odds. I was busy watching the inspirational videos on You Tube. All of a sudden, my mom called me downstairs. She informed me that my Library Mem rang up to say that she was stuck up in the city traffic and could not reach the Library on time. She had requested me to attend and manage the class. I was very excited and started planning how I can manage the class. For the first time, I was going to manage a class on my own and my joy was tremendous. Earlier, when I attended another class, whenever teacher told to manage the class, my sister was there to do so. Hence, this had been the first chance to prove my leadership abilities.

I was in great mood and as fast as I can, I reached my Library. None of the students had yet come and so, I got the opportunity to re-arrange the chairs and books on the shelf. I wrote new quotes on the board and waited for all to come. Soon, all children came one by one. I informed them of Mem's absence and told them that I will be assigning them their class work. First, they shouted with glee and chatted their way happily for some time. Even I had fun but soon, I had my responsibility and so, I made them write the quotes, meanings and idioms - as a routine that we write. It is difficult to manage naughty children and I can't shout to them as they would yell at me. But, I knew I could manage them and took a deep breadth. I gave them time limit to finish the quotes, meanings and idioms. Once, this was over, students started Loud Reading one by one. I helped them where they cannot pronounce well or failed to read properly.

It was an interesting Loud reading sessions and later, we shared our experiences that we came across in school. The class was very interactive and we all were engrossed in our activities. I am grateful that my mem put the trust and faith in me and this experience made me more confident. That day, I learnt five precious things that are useful in our life:

1. Patience : I learnt patience and knew that it brings in positive results
2. Managing on own without relying on other's shoulders. Normally, we are dependent on our parents at home and in school, we rely on our teachers. But, to manage on own requires great efforts and I learnt this well.
3. Resposibility. First work and than fun. I realized how to be more responsible.
4. Hard work pays result. All of us, sincerely worked hard even in absense of my teacher and I think this will help us in longer run.
5. Planning out - delegate a team and aim for perfection. If I had not planned, everything would be chaos.

This day has been a memorable day in my life. I am inspired and I hope, you will learn my five precious points above.
