फुटबल
Adhvik Kattel
फुटबल फुटबल धेरै पुरानो र लोकप्रिय खेल हो। फुटबल खेल सन् १८६३ मा इङ्ल्यान्डबाट व्यवस्थित रूपमा सुरु भएको मानिन्छ। पहिले मानिसहरूले साधारण बल बनाएर फुटबल खेल्थे। मलाई फुटबल खेल्न धेरै मन पर्छ। मलाई गोलकिपर बनेर अर्को टोलीको बल रोक्न निकै मज्जा आउँछ। यस खेलमा दुई टोली हुन्छन्, र प्रत्येक टोलीमा ११ जना खेलाडी हुन्छन्। गोलकिपर बाहेक अन्य खेलाडीहरूले बललाई हातले समात्न मिल्दैन। फुटबल खेल्न ठुलो मैदान चाहिन्छ। यो खेल खेल्दा शरीर स्वस्थ, तन्दुरुस्त र बलियो हुन्छ। मलाई क्रिस्टियानो रोनाल्डो, लियोनेल मेस्सी र नेयमारजस्ता खेलाडीहरू मन पर्छ । नेपाली फुटबल खेलाडीमध्ये मलाई सावित्रा भण्डारी (साम्बा) सबैभन्दा मन पर्छ। फुटबल खेल्दा म धेरै खुसी हुन्छु।

She is caring and always makes me laugh.Gauri has long, straight hair and a cheerful smile. At school, we love playing on the swings and drawing pictures during recess. We also enjoy reading storybooks together in our free time. Her best qualities are that she is helpful and kind to everyone.

बिदाको समयमा गरेका काम
Aanvi Sipkhan
बिदाको समयमा गरेका काम म बिहान सबेरै उठेँ। मैले हात मुख धोएँ । शौचालय गएँ अनि नुहाएँ। मैले खाना खाएर बहिनीसँग पनि खेलेँ । म मामाघर गएँ । म बहिनीसँग बसेर टिभी हेरेँ । हामी चौरमा खेल्न गयौँ त्यसपछि मैले पढेँ । बुबाआमासँग कुरा गरेँ । हामी सबैजना मिलेर भाटभटेनी घुम्न गयौँ। घरमा गएर म एकछिन नाचेँ । मैले पसलमा गएर सामानहरू पनि किनेँ । मैले सामान किन्दा तराजु देखेँ। मैले घरमा आएर मोबाइलमा खेल खेलेँ । म साथीहरूसँग पनि बास्केटबल खेल्न गएँ। म पोखरा घुम्न गएँ । त्यहाँ खाना खाएँ र धेरै घुमेँ । हामीले बाटोमा गीत गायौँ र नाच्यौँ । हामीले कोठा पनि सफा गर्याैँ । म र बहिनी पार्क गयौँ । मैले मोबाइलमा कार्टुन पनि हेरेँ। म बहिनीसँग मिलेर पढ्न बसेँ ।

The Weight of the Backpack
Yashaswi Pradhan
The Weight of the BackpackThe hallway echoes, loud and bright,But comfort's nowhere to be found,I brace myself and hold on tightAs rumor's wheels go spinning round.The friends who used to share my deskNow turn away and change their seat,They leave me with a heavy chest,And look down at their passing feet.Then comes the class I dread the most,Where kindness never seems to stay,The teacher stands there like a ghostTo chase my confidence away.A biting comment, sharp and mean,Before the grading pen is dry,A public critique on the screen,That makes it hard to not to cry.The clock is ticking on the wall,The pressure mounts with every tick,I feel so small inside the hall,And anxiety is hitting quick.At night the desk is piled highWith endless homework, page by page,Beneath the dark and silent sky,I feel trapped inside a cageThe expectations start to blur,Of who I am and who to be,While all the slights that did occurKeep echoing inside of me.
एकान्तदेखि आत्मबोधसम्म : ‘क्रमशः एक्लै–एक्लै’ को काव्यिक यात्रा
Rushka Sapkota
एकान्तदेखि आत्मबोधसम्म : ‘क्रमशः एक्लै–एक्लै’ को काव्यिक यात्रा डा. नवराज लम्साल नेपाली साहित्यका चर्चित कवि हुन्। उनका कविताहरूले मानवीय भावना, पीडा, एक्लोपन, समय, सम्बन्ध र जीवनका विभिन्न पक्षहरूलाई सरल तर गहन रूपमा प्रस्तुत गरेका छन्। उनको काव्य सङ्ग्रह ‘क्रमशः एकलै–एक्लै’ ले आधुनिक मानिसको जीवनमा देखिने एक्लोपन, मानसिक द्वन्द्व र जीवनसँग जोडिएका विभिन्न प्रश्नलाई प्रस्तुत गरेको छ । यस रचनाका कविताहरूले बाह्य जीवनलाई भन्दा व्यक्तिको मनभित्रका भावना र विचारहरूलाई बढी महत्त्व दिन्छ। यसको सरल भाषा, भावनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति र सुन्दर शैलीको कारणले यो कार्यले पाठकहरूलाई उनीहरूको आफ्नै जीवन र अनुभवहरूसँग जोड्न मद्दत गर्दछ। यस पाठकको समीक्षामा ‘क्रमशः एक्लै–एक्लै’ का विषयवस्तु, भावना, भाषा, शैली र महत्त्वबारे चर्चा गरिएको छ।१. सन्चो विसन्चो:‘सन्चो विसन्चो’ कवितामा कविले आफ्नो जीवनमा रहेका दुःख र समस्यालाई ‘अरू त सबै सन्चै छ’ भन्ने व्यङ्ग्यात्मक वाक्यबाट प्रस्तुत गरेका छन्। एक जना साथीले उनलाई ‘सन्चै छौ ?’ भनेर सोध्दा कविले आफ्नो अवस्था बताउँछन् । उनकी आमा कुँजिनुभएको छ, भाइ हराएको धेरै भइसकेको छ, छोराले पढाइ छोडेको छ र छोरो पनि हल्लिँदै हिँड्छ। उनकी श्रीमती माइती गएकी छिन्, खेत बाँझै छ र आफू बेरोजगार छन्। यति धेरै समस्या भए पनि कवि अन्त्यमा ‘यति हो बिग्रेको, अरू त सबै सन्चै छ’ भन्छन्। यही भनाइले कविताको मुख्य व्यङ्ग्य र गहिरो अर्थ बोकेको छ।कवितामा दुःख, विडम्बना र लुकेको पीडा मुख्य भावका रूपमा आएका छन्। कविले आफ्नो व्यक्तिगत समस्यामार्फत सामान्य मानिसले भोग्ने पारिवारिक, सामाजिक र आर्थिक समस्यालाई देखाएका छन्। जीवनमा यति धेरै समस्या हुँदाहुँदै पनि मानिसले अरूलाई आफ्नो वास्तविक अवस्था बताउन नसक्ने वा सबै कुरा सामान्य जस्तो देखाउने अवस्था कवितामा देखिन्छ। ‘सन्चो’ र ‘विसन्चो’ शब्दको विरोधाभासले नै कवितालाई प्रभावकारी बनाएको छ । कविले गम्भीर समस्याहरूलाई सामान्य रूपमा प्रस्तुत गरेर समाजमा मानिसहरूले आफ्नो दुःख लुकाएर ‘म ठिक छु’ भन्ने वास्तविकतालाई व्यङ्ग्य गरेका छन्। यस कविताले बाहिरबाट सामान्य देखिने मानिसको जीवनभित्र पनि धेरै दुःख र समस्या लुकेको हुन सक्छ भन्ने कुरा बुझाउँछ।२. मेरो भित्ता:‘मेरो भित्ता’ कविता साँच्चै केही विशेष छ। कविले भित्तालाई जीवन नभएको चिजका रूपमा मात्र देख्दैनन्। कविले भित्तालाई सधैँ साथ दिने साथीका रूपमा हेरेका छन्। भित्ताले कविको जीवनमा हुने सबै कुरा देख्छ। कविले भित्ताको नजिक हुँदा एक किसिमको आत्मीयता महसुस गर्छन्। भित्ता सधैँ शान्त हुन्छ। कवि रुन सक्छन्, हाँस्न सक्छन्, एक्लै हुन सक्छन् वा साथीहरू उनीसँग हुन सक्छन्। भित्ता सधैँ उनलाई हेरिरहन्छ। भित्ताले कविसँग गुनासो गर्दैन, उनलाई प्रश्न गर्दैन र उनको न्याय पनि गर्दैन। त्यसैले कविले भित्तालाई धेरै माया गर्छन्।कवितामा भित्ताको अर्थ धेरै गहिरो छ। यसको अर्थ स्थिरता, धैर्य र इमानदारीसँग जोडिएको छ। भित्ता ढुङ्गामाटाे, इँटा वा सिमेन्ट र प्लास्टरले बनेको छ। यसमा आफू अरूभन्दा राम्रो छु भन्ने कुनै अहङ्कार छैन। भित्ता जहाँ छ, त्यहीँ रहन्छ। यसले समयसँगै आउने परिवर्तनलाई सहन सक्छ। भित्ता सजिलै भत्किँदैन। कवि थाक्दा वा कमजोर हुँदा भित्तामा अडेस लागेर आराम गर्न सक्छन्। मानिसहरू समय र परिस्थितिअनुसार बदलिन्छन्, तर भित्ता सधैँ उस्तै रहन्छ। कविले आफू एक्लो हुँदा पनि भित्ता सधैँ आफ्नो साथमा रहेको अनुभव गरेका छन्। कविताले भन्न खोजेको मुख्य कुरा कहिलेकाहीँ कसैले केही नभन्दा पनि चुपचाप हाम्रो साथमा रहनु नै ठुलो सहारा हुन सक्छ भन्ने हो। ‘मेरो भित्ता’ कविता एक्लोपन, आत्मीयता र मौनताको भाव प्रस्तुत गर्ने कविता हो, जसले हामीलाई एउटा साधारण भित्ता पनि हाम्रो राम्रो साथी बन्न सक्छ भन्ने देखाउँछ।3. तीस वर्ष पछि प्रेमको नाममा‘तिस वर्षपछि प्रेमको नाममा’ कविता कविले तिस वर्षपछि आफ्नो पुरानो प्रेमिकालाई भेट्ने क्षण हो। उसले उसलाई हेर्छ। विगत सम्झिन्छ । तिस वर्षअघि उनी निकै सुन्दर र जवान थिइन् । उसको लुगा लगाउने तरिका र उसको बारेमा सबै साना कुराहरू उसलाई अझै पनि याद छ । अब ऊ धेरै परिवर्तन भएको छ। उनी विवाहित छन् बच्चाहरू छन्। उनी उमेरका कारण फरक देखिन्छिन् । कवि पनि फेरिए । समयले उनीहरूलाई जीवनको स्थानमा पुर्यायाे।विगत र वर्तमानमा फरक छ भनी कवि बारम्बार भन्छन् । यसको मतलब यो हो कि उनीहरूको जीवन परिवर्तन भए पनि उनीहरूसँग भएको प्रेम अझै छ। कविले समयअनुसार नछुट्याएको भए के हुन्थ्यो भनेर सोच्न थाल्छ। यदि चिजहरू फरक भएको भए तिनीहरू सँगै हुन सक्थे कि भनेर उनी आश्चर्यचकित हुन्छन् । अब यो फरक पर्दैन किनकि उनीहरू दुबैको आफ्नै परिवार छ।तिस वर्षपछिको प्रेमको नाममा मुख्य अनुभूति भनेको प्रेम, सम्झना र समयको पीडा हो। कविले प्रेमको प्रतीकको रूपमा फूल प्रयोग गर्छन्। सिजन ठिक हुँदा जलकुम्भी फुल्छ जसरी उनीहरूको प्रेम त्यतिबेला फुलेको थियो । त्यो व्यक्तिसँग जीवन नबिताए पनि मनमा साँचो माया बस्न सक्छ भन्ने कविको विश्वास छ । त्यसैले समयले मानिसलाई बदल्न सक्छ र उनीहरूलाई अलग गर्न सक्छ भनेर कविताले भनेको छ। साँचो माया र पुराना सम्झना बिर्सन गाह्रो छ। तिस वर्षपछिको मायाको नाममा, तिस वर्षपछि पनि मायाको नाममा कसरी महसुस हुन्छ भन्ने देखाउने भावसारको कविता हो ।४. सन्तुलन: ‘सन्तुलन’ कविता मेरो मन पर्ने कवितामध्ये एक हो किनकि यसले जीवनलाई हेर्ने तरिका र हरेक निर्णयमा सोच्नुपर्ने कुराबारे गहिरो सन्देश दिन्छ। कविताको मुख्य भाव जीवनमा सन्तुलन, संयम र सचेतना हो। कविले जीवनलाई कहिले आधा भरिएको र कहिले आधा रित्तो गिलाससँग तुलना गरेका छन्। यसले जीवनमा सुख र दुःख, आशा र निराशा दुवै हुन्छन् भन्ने देखाउँछ। जीवनमा सधैँ एउटै अवस्था रहँदैन त्यसैले कुनै पनि परिस्थितिमा सन्तुलन गुमाउनु हुँदैन।यस कविताका केही पङ्क्तिहरूले मलाई विशेष रूपमा सोच्न बाध्य बनाउँछन्। ‘उज्यालो भन्दैमा नहाैसिनू, बत्तीको उज्यालोमा डढेर मर्छन् पुतलीहरू’ भन्नुको अर्थ कुनै कुरा राम्रो वा आकर्षक देखिँदैमा त्यसतर्फ आँखा चिम्लेर दौडिनु हुँदैन भन्ने हो। बाहिरबाट राम्रो देखिने कुराले भित्रबाट पनि राम्रो नै गर्छ भन्ने हुँदैन। त्यसैले कुनै निर्णय लिनुअघि सोच्नुपर्छ, बुझ्नुपर्छ र आवश्यक कुरा खोजेर मात्र अघि बढ्नुपर्छ। त्यस्तै, ‘मायाले मुसारे पनि उसैगरी काट्छ खुकुरी’ भन्ने भावले कसैले माया वा राम्रो व्यवहार देखाउँदैमा ऊ सधैँ सुरक्षित हुन्छ भन्ने हुँदैन भन्ने कुरा सम्झाउँछ। ‘फुलेका सबै फूल फल्दैनन्’ भन्ने विचारले पनि हरेक सुन्दर सुरुवातको परिणाम राम्रो नै हुन्छ भन्ने छैन भन्ने सत्य देखाउँछ।कविताले जीवनमा आउने जोखिम र कठिनाइलाई पनि वास्तविक रूपमा स्वीकार गर्न सिकाउँछ। हिउँ अलिकति तातो भेटेपछि पग्लिएजस्तै, मानिस पनि परिस्थितिअनुसार कमजोर हुन सक्छ तर कठिनाइ आयाे भन्दैमा जीवन छोड्नु हुँदैन। त्यसलाई सहँदै, संयम राख्दै र आफूलाई सम्हाल्दै अघि बढ्नुपर्छ। मलाई यो कविता मन पर्नुको मुख्य कारण यही हो कि यसले जीवनलाई केवल राम्रो वा नराम्रो भनेर हेर्न सिकाउँदैन, बरु हरेक कुराको अर्को पक्ष पनि हेर्न सिकाउँछ। कुनै गिलास बाहिरबाट भरिएको देखिए पनि भित्रबाट रित्तो हुन सक्छ र कुनै रित्तो देखिएको गिलासमा पनि केही आशा बाँकी हुन सक्छ। त्यसैले ‘सन्तुलन’ ले हामीलाई जीवनमा जस्तोसुकै परिस्थिति आए पनि हतारमा निर्णय नगरी सोचेर, बुझेर र संयमका साथ अघि बढ्नुपर्छ भन्ने महत्त्वपूर्ण सन्देश दिन्छ।५. पारदर्शिता:‘पारदर्शिता’ कवितामा कविले मानिसको बोली, व्यवहार र समाजमा रहेको पाखण्डबिचको भिन्नतालाई व्यङ्ग्य गरेका छन्। मानिसहरू बाहिरबाट धार्मिक, शिक्षित र असल देखिन खोज्छन् तर उनीहरूको वास्तविक व्यवहार यसको विपरीत हुन्छ। ‘दिनभर पूजा गरिएकी सरस्वतीलाई उसले रातभर बलात्कार गर्न खोज्छ’ भन्ने पङ्क्तिले ज्ञान र शिक्षाको पूजा गरेकाे नाटक गर्ने तर व्यवहारमा त्यसको अपमान गर्ने व्यक्तिको दोहोरो चरित्र देखाउँछ। त्यस्तै, अरूलाई ज्ञान सिकाउने र दिने तर आफूभन्दा बुद्धिमान विद्यार्थीहरूलाई मन नपराउने कुरा गर्नु मानव अहङ्कारको उदाहरण हो।निष्कर्षकविताले हामीलाई बताउँछ कि व्यक्तिको वास्तविक चरित्र उसको बोलीमा होइन, उसको व्यवहारमा देखिन्छ। बाहिरबाट राम्रो देखिनुको अर्थ व्यक्ति साँच्चै राम्रो छ भन्ने होइन। पारदर्शिता भनेको आफ्नो बोली र व्यवहारमा एकरूप हुनु, झुटो रूप नदेखाउनु र आफ्नो वास्तविक चरित्र लुकाउन खोज्नु होइन। समाजमा देखिने यस्ता विरोधाभास र गलत प्रवृत्तिमाथि कविले प्रश्न उठाएका छन् । यो कविताले हामीलाई अरूले भनेको कुरा मात्र नभई उनीहरूको कार्य र व्यवहारलाई पनि हेर्नुपर्छ भन्ने सन्देश दिन्छ। यसका साथै, कवितामा हामीले अरूलाई दिने शिक्षा र सल्लाह पहिले हाम्रो आफ्नै जीवनमा लागू गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने महत्त्वपूर्ण विचार पनि समावेश छ।समग्रमा, डा. नवराज लम्साल एक महत्त्वपूर्ण कविता सङ्ग्रह हो। यस कृतिमा मानवको एक्लोपन, दुःख, भावना, सम्बन्ध, समय र जीवनका विभिन्न समस्यालाई गहिरो रूपमा प्रस्तुत गरिएको छ । कविताहरूले हामीलाई आफ्नै जीवन र भावनाहरूको बारेमा सोच्न प्रेरित गर्दछ। सरल भाषा र प्रभावकारी शैलीका कारण कविताहरू पाठकलाई बुझ्न सजिलो हुन्छ। कविता मनोरञ्जनका लागि मात्र नभई जीवनलाई बुझ्न, भावनाको अनुभूति गर्न र आफूभित्र हेर्नका लागि पनि महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ भन्ने कुरा यस कार्यले देखाउँछ। त्यसैले ‘क्रमशः एक्लै एक्लै’ समकालीन नेपाली साहित्यको महत्त्वपूर्ण कृति हो, जसले पाठकलाई आफ्नो जीवन र एकान्तबारे सोच्न प्रेरित गर्छ।
Representation of Romance and Love in ‘White Nights’
Prasiddha Shrestha
Representation of Romance and Love in ‘White Nights’‘White Nights’ by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a short sentimental romantic novella. The book covers the encounter between the narrator and a young girl named Nastenka over the span of four nights in the city of St Petersburg. ‘White Nights’ does not present the idea of love and romance as a simple emotion but as a mixture of loneliness, idealisation and hope. The novella begins with an introduction to the protagonist, a Dreamer. The Dreamer is a lonely individual who is withdrawn from society. The Dreamer has no real friends or even people to speak with. He has imaginary friends and considers random objects, like buildings, to be his friends. This was until he met a girl crying on the embankment of the river. This girl was Nastenta. Their conversations quickly take off as they rattle on and on about their vulnerabilities and their past. The Dreamer explains about his lonely past and his opinions on emotions, life and existence itself. This connection is where the emotions grow and the feelings come forward.I believe that the projection of love in "White Nights" is mostly based on idealisation. The Dreamer was a lonely individual with no one to interact with. When he met Nastenka, he suddenly felt a sense of joy and happiness that there was someone willing to listen to him. This is what ignited his idea of love. Nastenka's interest in him now filled the pit of loneliness that had been growing inside of him. He projects his ideas, his dreams and his desires onto her. Rather than loving her for what she was, he loved her for what she could become for him. A hope to escape his endless isolation. Hence, he fell in love not with her but the idea of loving her. He fell in love with the future he saw with her. As previously mentioned, the Dreamer was a lonely character. He had not felt happiness, joy or enjoyment from many things or places around him. Hence, their first meeting ended on mutual terms. The narrator romanticised this mutual relationship as well. But what if it was never love? What if "White Nights" was never a love story? What if the narrator was only emotionally dependent on Nastenka? And what if Nastenka developed a feeling of guilt from her sympathy for the narrator? This analysis is another perspective on the book. When Nastenka was content, so was the narrator; when she was sad, so was the narrator. As per Nastanka, she felt guilty. She felt guilty for not being able to love the narrator. This guilt originated from her sympathy for the concept of love. However, that love was entirely fabricated. She could have never loved him. ‘White Nights’ has an ambiguous view of love. The book portrays love or romance in general as a feeling or expression of hope, idealisation and trust. But at the same time, it also compares love to emotional dependency and guilt. Dostoyevsky explores the idea that loneliness amplifies feelings and emotions. The book uses the emotion of love as a coping mechanism for loneliness as well. The book ends with the line:“My God! A whole minute of bliss! Is such a moment so little for the whole of a man’s life?"This line emphasises that the narrator remembers something that he can value. A memory that he could cherish. Though he returned to the same loneliness afterwards, that temporary happiness he experienced was something he could cherish for the rest of his life.
अहङ्कार

अहङ्कारफूल फुल्छ, ओइलाउँछ,ऋतु फेरिन्छ,सुख र दुःख दुवै बितेर जान्छन्,तर अहङ्कारले बाँधेर राखेको कमलो मनपरिवर्तनको प्रश्नमा अझै लुकिरहन्छ,यही बोध हो सर्वोच्च मानवतार सच्चा मानवीयताको।जसरी भरिएको गाग्रीमाअरू पानी अटाउँदैन,त्यसरी नै अहङ्कारको सिकार भएको मनमासन्तुष्टि र शान्तिले कहिल्यै ठाउँ पाउँदैनन्।तर विडम्बना,मानिस यही परिवर्तनको पछि लागेरभागदौडमै जीवन बिताउँछ,आफूलाई शाश्वत ठान्दैआफ्नै भ्रममा हराउँछ।आफूलाई महान् ठान्नेघमण्डको पर्खालभित्रमानिस बिर्सन्छ आफ्नो क्षणभङ्गुर अस्तित्व।संसार जित्ने दौडमा दौडिँदा–दौडिँदैआफ्नै आत्मसम्मान र करुणा गुमाउँछ।माटोको यो शरीर अन्ततःमाटोमै मिलेर जान्छ,तर मानिस अझैअहङ्कारको भारी बोकेर बाँचिरहन्छ।यदि त्याग्न सकेअहङ्कार र घमण्डको बोझ,अनि स्वीकार्न सकेजीवनको शाश्वत सत्य,रित्तो गाग्रीझैँ भरिनेछमनमा फेरि प्रेम र शान्ति।अनि मात्र भेटिनेछसच्चा मानवताको अर्थ,जहाँ आत्माले पाउनेछ मुक्तिर मनले पाउनेछ विश्राम।

Friendship
Kamal Thapa Magar
“Walking with a friend in dark is better than walking alone in the light”.Friendship is a special bond between two or more than two people. I think without friendship life is boring because friends bring happiness and smile on our face. We all have friends. Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. We cannot live our entire life all by ourselves. We need a faithful relationship and happy living. And these two are achieved only by true friendship. Friendship has no limit on age, sex, and position. Friendship can be developed between persons having different passions, emotions or sentiments.

Journal On Zoo Visit
Aashik Singh Danwar
It was Sunday when we, the students of grade 10 went to the zoo with our respective teacher, Mr. Kuldeep Gupta. We reached the zoo at 10:30 am. We rested there for a while and headed inside. We saw different animals and birds. We got a chance to gather information about animals such as monkeys, tigers, elephants, bears, and birds such as parrots, eagles, vultures and so on. We took a short break after walking and exploring. We had our lunch and started exploring more. We got to know about reptiles as well. We didn’t leave a place to roam around. We had lots of fun. After we finished gathering enough information, we went for boating. It was one of the memorable moment of my life. I would like to heartily thank my teachers who gave us the opportunity to make beautiful memories with friends and help us explore different birds and animals. We wish to have more fruitful field visits like this.

On Sunday, October 7, 2018, it was our field visit to the zoo. We left the school at around 9:15 am. Mr. Kuldeep, our HPE teacher guided us to the zoo. This field visit was related to our study in which we had to know about different animals. We reached the zoo at 10:00 am. We were told the rules that we had to follow. We took group photos and headed forward. We saw different animals there. We had to take information about animals, too. We all took the photos of animals and wrote some information about it. We completed half way of the zoo at around 11:45 am. Then we sat on a place and had our tiffins there. We finished our tiffins at 12:30 pm and again went to take some information about animals. There were many kinds of animals and birds. We also took our group photos. We gathered a lot of information about the animals that we found in the zoo. After gathering all the information, we decided to go for boating. It was not planned before, it was on the spot decision. We divided our group to 6 each and took two boats. We had lots of fun while boating. We got out of the boat, took the school van and went back to school. Overall, it was a fun and memorable visit. We reached school at around 2:45 pm. We were very tired so we did not study any subjects and went home after school.
