Darjeeling-A Charming Place

For my summer vacations, me and my family went to Darjeeling! It was a joint trip with my mother's school friends along with their families. I made new friends and my mother had fun meeting her old friends. We stayed at Lamahatta for two nights. We saw monasteries and churches. We also visited the famous Ghum station and saw Darjeeling's famous toy train, constructed by the British. This train is called the toy train as it it smaller in size. We also visited The Mall Road of darjeeling and shopped at the stores there. We also saw the Chowrasta, it means four roads. One of the oldest store there is the Oxford Books And Stationary. We had lunch at Glenaries, well known for its baked goods. For three nights we also stayed at a homestay right in the heart of Darjeeling. We visited Loyd Botanical garden and saw different types of cactuses and Orchids.We also visited the Darjeeling Zoo and saw many types of animals such as the great bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger, Firefox/red panda, fish, parrots, pheasants and more. There was a day when it rained heavily and our plans were delayed. That sounds bad, but there was a different kind of beauty to the rainy hills. It left fresh air and clear sky's for the next day. The restaurants and bakeries in Darjeeling are filled with tasty treats. We had Nepali, Korean, and more types of food. The cookies and cakes were delectable. I loved my trip to Darjeeling, it was truly memorable. 😊

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...

He explained how genes are  acquired...
