JINN IS AFRAID OF .............. ?



Bobby was going back  home after playing . When he was on his way suddenly a shiny beautiful stone drew his attention. It was triangle shaped stone . Bobby had never seen a stone like that . He picked up that stone rubbed it by his hands and guess what ? From the stone smoke started coming out and a"JINN" appeared in front of the little boy . Bobby got so scared and stunned. The Jinn said to Bobby," No sir you don't need to be scared I will not harm you .You have let me out of this stone so now I am your servant and will help you out in every task!" ."But my parents will not allow me to keep a Jinn in my home!", Bobby said .
                      " Do not worry sir, I am only visible to you, any other person would not be able to see me ", the Jinn answered. " O.k then you can come with me ". Bobby was too happy that he had a Jinn as a helper now . He took the Jinn home . After having his evening snacks he went to his room with the Jinn and said to him, " Mr. Jinn can you help me to clean my wardrobe ?".  "Yes why not sir?", Jinn answered. And the untidy and messy wardrobe became so clean and tidy within few minutes .   
                  "Could you please help me to change the bed sheet and pillow covers ?", Bobby asked. "Yes sir, it will be my pleasure!", said the Jinn . The work was done . Jinn did several jobs including the resetting of the toy shelf, cleaning the flower pot, polishing the shoes etc.  Mom will be so happy to see my room she always says that, " Your room is a mess!", Bobby thought happily . 

 Now it was time to do the home work . Bobby had to solve ten very difficult sums . He asked Mr. Jinn, "Can you help me with my home work ?". " Of course , I will! " , Mr. Jinn said with a lovely smile on his face." Tell me in which subject  you want me to help you ?", Jinn asked. "Well you have to help me to solve few sums in Maths" , Bobby said and turned back to open his bag . He took out his note book and looked for Jinn but he was not there . 
                    Mr. Jinn ! 
                    Mr Jinn where are you ? 
There was no sign of Mr. Jinn . "Ah ! Maths !! Even a Jinn is afraid of Maths!!" , a very disappointed Bobby started doing the sums .                                                                                              -Aunt Mary


                

















"MY SHADOW" (POEM)

                                      

    


 A constant companion my shadow is with me,
 An imperfect imitation my shadow is with me.

Everything I do it copies that ,                        
A great fan of mine it is in fact . 

 In the morning and evening it appears tall,
When sun is overhead it becomes small .

Some times it makes me scared almost, 
Creeps and follows like a phantom or ghost.    

My shadow is with me wherever I go,
My shadow is with me that I know. 
                                                 -Aunt Mary

WONDER OF THE WORLD "THE TAJ MAHAL " ( Article )


My dear children, most of you must have heard of "Taj Mahal", one of the seven wonders of the world and many of you must have visited Taj. Taj Mahal is an extremely beautiful building built of pure white marble , it is located at the city of Agra in the state of U.P, India .Taj Mahal was built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Shahjahan in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal ."TAJ MAHAL" means crown of palaces , it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site .


The construction of Taj Mahal was started in 1632 and was completed in 1653 .It took 22 years to complete the building .The main architect was Ustad Ahmad Lahouri. The design of this building is a fusion of Islamic, Hindu and Persian architecture.The height of the building is 71 meters. Twenty thousand of craftsmen, artisans and workers worked day and night to transform the emperor's dream into reality. It is situated on the banks of river Yamuna. The emperor spent 32 million rupees at that time (17th century) for the construction of this building. 




When you enter Taj's compound, you can't believe on your eyes that it is real. It's beauty is so divine, that you can't express it in words. You just are able to say "WOW"! One's eyes get stuck on the Taj. 




You can't take your eyes off the Marble Glory! If you see Taj in the moonlight you will find it shining like a jewel. When the moonlight falls on the white marble structure it's beauty is beyond belief. 


Tourists from all over the world come to see the Taj Mahal. Among them are Presidents of many countries, leaders, big celebrities and artistes. 
The emperor Shahjahan loved his wife Mumtaz Mahal very much. She was an extremely beautiful lady that is why the emperor named her Mumtaz Mahal. The word 'Mumtaz' means 'Unique'. The queen died after giving birth to one of her children. Shahjahan was in deep shock after losing his beloved wife. It is said that due to sadness the emperor's hair turned white in one night. 


After Queen's death  Shahjahan decided to build this tomb at the place where Mumtaz Mahal was buried. After the death of emperor he was buried besides the grave of his queen in Taj Mahal. 




The immortal love of an emperor gave this world a marvelous piece of architectural beauty and a splendid monument of love.
