DEAR BABA

 Dear Baba


Wow. I don’t really know what to do or say. I was at my school trip and

had been gone since early morning so I could not meet you today.

When Mamma picked me up from school she told me. She told me that

the world I live in is no longer the world you live in. she told me that

this world has lost one more fighter and one of its few centurions.

I did not get to know the young you, I just knew the old one who took

care of the park, took walks, enjoyed the winter sun in the garden and

watched Mahabharat with me. And knowing that you was wonderful.

I want to know more about the younger you and I guess I will have to

ask around for stories. I’m sorry I wasn’t with you when you passed but

I heard it was really peaceful and painless. I’m thankful for that.

Love,

Bambi (the fourth generation) 

Hundred Dresses Book Review

(Spoiler alert!!) 'The Hundred Dresses' is a book in which a girl named Wanda Petronski shifts to a new village with her father and her brother. she starts attending a new school there. She lives in the more remote part of the village which people are scared of and avoid going to.   One day as she enters the school, Wanda spots a crowd of girls marveling at a girl's new red dress. Eager to make friend and join the fun, Wanda says to Peggy, the most popular girl in their group “I’ve got a hundred dresses in my home, all lined up in my closet”.  As expected, no one believes her - they mock her and ask her as to why then she just wears the same simple blue dress to school every day ? However, her claim spreads like wildfire in the small school and has tongues wagging and everyone talking. Peggy’s friend Maddie does not like this. She feel’s guilty and wants to befriend Wanda, but Wanda is absent for a few days so she does not get the chance.   When  Wanda i...
