Why do you forget, life is short
A poem by Asha Singh, ISW Cultural and Language School teacher
|
|
क्यों भूलता है मन
कुछ क्षण का है जीवन,
आशाएँ पूरी कर ले
कुछ बन सके तो बन ।
निज स्वार्थ को भुला कर
कोई काम ऐसा कर,
मन की ज्योति जलाकर
तू पथ आलोकित कर ।
....
🌹🌿🌹 आशा

Why do you forget,
That the life is short,
Fulfill your hopes.
Be something if possible,
Do not be selfish,
Do good deeds for others,
By using flame of thought.
Enlighten good path to all.
....
🌹🌿🌹 Asha

ISW YOUTH CORNER
Road Trip Tales: A journey to the West and back
By Dhruv Jagan, 9th Grade, St. Johns
Once upon a time, there were these 2 parents who had this crazy idea to drive across the country. Well, these 2 parents just happened to be mine! It happened just a few weeks ago, this summer of 2021. At first, I didn’t really want to go because I wanted to hang out with my friends here in my neighborhood. But after my mom told me that the scenery would be nice, and I could see some cool new places and, of course, the added incentive that I could use the pools at the places we would stay, I decided to go. I looked at the map that my father showed and the trip looked LOONNGG! We were going to take the Oregon Trail that traverses the north of the country starting from Massachusetts all the way to Oregon and beyond to see my aunt in San Francisco. Basically, we had to cover a full 3,600 miles.
We introduce a new series by Dhruv Jagan that takes you on their exciting cross country trip this summer. Read the rest of the story on the ISW Website and don't forget to check in for the next exciting step of their journey.
