My Own Short Story - I

         I WISH ALL MY VIEWERS A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

     

          Topic- A story ending with 'I wish I had told the truth'


'Beep!', went the computer as I switched it on. I was checking the result's of the final level of the SOF Olympiad. Last year, that is in the 6th grade, my rank had been 51, just one away from getting a huge prize. Thus, this year I was hoping to enter the merit list and imagined myself smiling for the newspapers on topping.
                                The sound removed me from my 'dream world' and I, with a cross on my fingers entered the roll no. Never could I have imagined my shock on seeing the rank stated as '1257'. My shoulders drooped and the next minute my sister entered the room asking about (it's obvious) my rank. I, already disappointed got irritated and said, "First!". My sister, the innocent girl she was believed it and immediately posted a message on all her social accounts (5, to be exact).
                                                                                  By then it was too late. When I told her I was joking, she was furious to have made a fool of herself in front of our entire family. Soon calls started pouring in my relatives on the other end, wanting to congratulate me. One by one, I (extremely) embarrassingly informed them about this mishap and apologized while thinking in my mind, ' I wish I had told the truth '.



I hope you liked the story and if you have any improvement to suggest, please do so. This week I had read an article about how several individuals have taken several measures to reduce the non-biodegradable waste produced by them, and the best part is that they were Indians. Let's support these people by starting to reduce, reuse, and recycle !

Best Fiction Books of All Time

   Origin of Fiction Writing -  Fiction writing has been a very important part of human culture and will continue to be so. Taking an exact point in time and saying that this is where fiction writing was born, however, is a foolish task and anyone who tries to do so is wrong. Books were initially taken with great seriousness, the only place where a common man saw books was with priests and scientists. Thus it was natural that they assumed anything written in a book to be the truth. A change in this attitude was observed around the earlier centuries of the first millennium when Classic Sanskrit and Tamil Sangam literature was born. Stories and poems were written in the common man's language and people started getting used to the idea that books could be a work of imagination too   Fiction Writing has been around for ages and yet has kept evolving. New genres keep coming up along with fresh styles of writing. Some books can take more credit for this than others, t...

An Essay on "My Most Disastrous Day Ever" in 250 words.

                  Who would want to have a disastrous day? I don't think anybody would. But whether you like it or not, everybody has one, even if not serious but a mild one. My most disastrous day was when I was taken to our principal's office.                                                  Now you'll say, 'not a big deal' but I had maintained a clean slate up till then. I was then in my fifth grade. Our yearly exams were going on and 'April Fools Day' was coming up. So I had a few tricks up my sleeve. I was going to put sand in my friend's bag as a prank. Back then, I didn't understand that this deed would bring nothing but trouble to him. As you might have guessed, I was caught and upto 3 different teacher's severely scolded me and as a bonus also told me in advance that I would by taken to the principal aft...
