Our journey to the Evergreen State - Seattle

Image
  Dear Readers (3 to 5 grade explorers) As you know, I have written a lot of blogs in India. But I have recently relocated to Seattle. I'll tell you how I got here.  Me and my parents were packing, our church friends, Minu and Thiyagu came and helped us load our luggage into a cab and we said a little prayer. We then got into the cab and asked him to take us to Chennai airport.  My mom had a lot of "uncertainties" running through her mind, but that didn't stop me and me from playing rock paper scissors, then she got back to pondering about her "uncertainties". We reached the airport and we saw other families who had come to wish us bye. I discovered I had a sister but she was not born from my parents, she is my 3-year-old cousin, Sara. Patty gave me two bananas which I ate. We said bye to our other families and headed to the lounge.  On the way to the lounge, my mom found she had lost her purse. It had the credit cards in it which  MEANT WE COULDN'T GO I...

The peaceful void - Countryside!

Image
  Dear Readers (Who live in the city), If you ever feel overwhelmed by the city's hustling, bustling noise, I suggest you take a break and retreat to the countryside where tranquility takes center stage. The fresh smell of air gives your nose a smell of freshness. The lush green grass lay in the fields glittering like emerald carpets, waiting to be eaten up by cows. You can spot and hear a variety of animals, such as cows mooing, birds chirping, sheep bleating, dogs barking, and more. There are also more things to explore in the peaceful void like crystal clear waters flowing, the sun's golden rays reflecting on the water, the breeze blowing throughout the country and the different types of trees marveling.  To honor and represent nature's beauty,  I drew 2 sceneries for my art competition, and my inspiration was from nature's beauty. So next time, you feel disturbed by the city's appearance, trust me escape the bustling prison and escape to the peaceful void. Remem...

The bird of green fashion - Parrot!

Image
  Dear Readers Have you ever observed a parrot? If you have, what do you think is special about parrots? Well, I think a parrot is special because of its beautiful colors. They come in vibrant colors of red, yellow, turquoise, green, and more! It looks great to look at while they fly fast with wings fluttering. Next time I see these qualities of an animal, I'll know what to call it.  Now let's learn some facts about our feathered friends. The different  types of parrots are, macaw, cockatoo, and parakeet.  Parrots like to eat fruits, seeds, and mud. Now, you might be thinking that eating mud is weird, but for them, it's a source of salt. Parrots are trained by humans to copy them. Macaws have the strongest beaks to break even the toughest nut, but they can also peel fruit. So next time you see a parrot, appreciate it for its beauty and take inspiration. Shalom 

Squirrels: The playful rodents

Image
  Draft Dear Readers,  Now you must be thinking “What is so interesting about squirrels?”. You see them all over the place. Well, I see them when I am playing they are hopping about the trees or walls chasing each other, not to mention scurrying on the walls, or when I am going for a walk they are running on the gate. Now here are some fun facts about squirrels. Squirrels live on trees in cities and villages. Some breeds of squirrels are prairie dogs, flying squirrels, and chipmunks. Squirrels eat plants, seeds, nuts, and fruits. Squirrels are generally brown or grey rodents with cute eyes and a long large bushy tail. I like squirrels because I acted in my school cultural show as the character Chikki the squirrel. The main character in scene 4 of the screenplay is Bau Bau’s bark (chandi’s campaign). Chikki, he advocates cleanliness by recycling waste to keep the Kamala colony safe.  Warm regards Shalom

Charismatic Kai Smith from Lego Ninjago

Image
  My favorite character from LEGO Ninjago is Kai Smith. I was introduced to him by my friends Akhilesh and Thryambak, and I've been fascinated by him ever since. Kai, known as the red fire ninja, sports a cool patch on his head and is the second to master the art of Spinjitzu. He is the older brother of Nya, his weapon is the powerful Sword of Fire, and his spiky hair resembles flames. He plays pivotal roles in seasons like the pilot, Tournament of Elements, Hands of Time, and Secrets of the forbidden spinjitzu. He is known for his hot-tempered nature. What draws me to Kai is his destined role to protect the Green Ninja. He is considered the greatest ninja in all of Ninjago!
