A Trip To Ranthambore


                                                   A Trip To Ranthambore

My grandparents came from Kolkata to spend sometime with me, my sister and my parents. We decided a weekend trip to Ranthambore in Rajasthan. My grandfather likes the forests and the animals so we decided it was the right decision. Saturday morning we all loaded our car and set off for the adventurous road trip. Once we reached Ranthambore we took a break and had lunch at a restaurant. After that we visited the famous Ranthambore fort. The view was amazing! The pictures we took were of walls with great architecture, a blue sky with a lake and fields of grass and pebbles. Cute little monkeys and birds flooded the fort. All I can say is that it was very fun and exciting. We reached the hotel right before sunset,  and for the rest of the evening I drew pictures of the sceneries around. My parents and grandparents discussed about the next day's safari while sipping hot cups of tea along with chicken and veg pakoras. The next day we all woke up extra early for the jungle safari. We sat at the back of a canter, and buckled up for adventure. Even though we didn't see a tiger, we still saw other wonderful birds and animals like deer, peacock, monkey and more. After the safari we ate our breakfast and started off to our next stop. We visited the famous haunted fort in the Alwar district. It is called the Bhangarh fort, located at the border of the Sariska reserve. My mother told me that Bhangarh fort was my first travel destination in India 10 years ago, so I was delighted to see the fort again. It was a great experience, we saw temples and a palace. I climbed the stairs at the back of a temple and witnessed the magnificent view of everything inside the fort. After that we drove back home, talking about the great weekend until we reached home. To sum up, I loved our weekend getaway, it was the best!

Meeting Nikkolas Smith

Image
  I love reading books, meeting different authors and illustrators has always been a source of great excitement for me. I had the opportunity to meet Nikkolas Smith, an American contemporary artist, illustrator and activist, who was visiting our school. Murals painted by Nikkolas Smith raise awareness about social issues and promote social change.   One of the most famous books he has written and illustrated is the book "The Artivist". It talks about a small boy solving social issues by paintings.He also helped create pictures in the movie "Black Panther: Wokanda Forever".  When Nikkolas Smith came to our school, he talked about how even us kids can make a change in this world. Then we all made drawings of the social issues we witnessed, and discussed why it is important to stop these issues. I was really inspired by the speech and hoped to make a difference in this world some day as well.

My First MUN Experience

                                                My First MUN Experience MUN or Model United Nations is a practice to know more about how the UN or United Nations works. It is a discussion between parties to find solutions on a common problem.  For my first MUN, I took part in the Conference Of The Parties 29 or COP 29. It took place from 9th august 2024 to 11th august 2024. I was very excited but since this was my first time attending a MUN, I had no idea of how to start preparing. I participated in a few training sessions, and got the big idea behind it. Here are some points that can help you understand the MUN process better.  There are three parts to a MUN, which are General Speakers List, Moderated Caucus and the Unmoderated caucus. The General Speakers List or the GSL is a list of delegates (students representing the parties) who wish to give their speec...
