Dandia goes and meets his friend Sapir

In  an  area  known  as  Pajarati  there  lived   a  girl named  Sapir.  She  always  wanted  someone  to  come  to  her  home  and  play  with  her,    but  not  strangers.   Mostly everybody came, except a boy named Dandia.  He was Sapir’s friend.   Dandia  lived  in  a  block   known  as   Javatio  just  opposite of  Sapir ‘s  house. 

Sapir   thought, “What   happened to Dandia?  I never see him playing with his friends”.  “Thinking about Dandia   makes me tired”, told Sapir to herself and she went to bed.  Next day   Sapir   asked   her   mother, ‘’What happened to Dandia?  I hope he is all right’’.     “No!   he   is  not all right.  He has just  got   affected  due  to  the  pollution”.   “The pollution!”, screamed   Sapir.  “Why didn’t you tell me?” “Never   mind “,  told Sapir’s mother.    “What do you mean by never mind? Tell me mom. When will Dandia come?”, wept Sapir. “I think tomorrow”.   “Oh really!”,  screamed Sapir.  Then there was a knock at the door.    “Who is it?”, asked  Sapir’s  mother.  “It’s me, Dandia, aunty”.    

Then  Sapir’s  mother  rushed  towards  Sapir  and  told  her  to  see  Dandia  standing  outside .    Without  uttering  a  word  Sapir  rushed  towards  the   door  and  from  that  day  onwards  Sapir and  Dandia  had  a  happy  life  with  each  other.

My Trip to Darasuram

During the half-yearly holidays, I went to place called Darasuram, in Kumbakonam, six hours drive from Chennai. I went to a temple called Airavatheeswara temple. My parents said it was built by a Chola king. It was built nearly thousand years ago. The temple is very beautiful. I was running around the temple seeing all the sculptures. My father had given me a list of things to find in the temple. I saw things like the musical steps, wall sculptures, and women playing gymnastics, a bull and an elephant together forming an optical illusion and so on. We clicked many pictures out there. Then I saw a small goat in the lawns. My brother and I had fun playing with it. It was a memorable trip.
