Think Today, Change Tomorrow E-Magazine(2022-23)

School Vision The Millennium School is committed to nurture the inherent potential and talent of each child, creating lifelong learners who will be the leaders of tomorrow. With parents as our partners, we aspire to create global citizens who are innovative and have a strong sense of values.

From the desk of Principal Dear Readers “Desire is the key to motivation, but it is the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal- a commitment to excellence- that will enable you to attain the success that you seek.” Commitment is one of the main ingredients of success and success in turn adds to one’s self-esteem. If we are committed and have a purpose in life, nothing can take its place as the purpose underlines the character, position, culture and attainment of every sort. Our commitment to our goals and positive attitude has always borne us good fruit, no matter whether it has been curricular or co-curricular. Intending to provide our students with every opportunity to come out with their innovative potential to express themselves with various forms and styles of print media, we are up with another edition of our school magazine ‘DARPAN’. ‘DARPAN’ is the excellent fruit of the joint efforts and teamwork of our students and staff. They deserve appreciation and encouragement for their hard work to bring out this piece of significant work. I also take this opportunity to thank the parents, teachers and students most sincerely for their relentless cooperation in every new step. We propose to create a difference in education at The Millennium School, Bathinda. With Best Wishes and Warm Regards! Dr. Sangeeta Saxena Director

From the desk of Vice Principal

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Nelson Mandela Education doesn’t mean cramming of concepts and getting good marks. On the whole , education means holistic development of a child not only restricted to the achievements of academics but also helps the child to come up with the inherited knowledge to build a better tomorrow; with a disciplined way of life. The philosophy of the Millennium family is simple - Teach the way the child Learns, focusing on the philosophy that every child is unique. Keeping this in mind we provide the students value based education, opportunities to grow in every sphere of life, both in academics and in their personality development. In the field of co- curricular activities, games, and sports of our students are paving their way towards greater heights. By focusing on child-centered education, we are trying to mould our future citizens into “nationbuilders”. I wish our children to aim higher and stay focused on what they wish to achieve in their life. With best wishes Babbal Preet Kaur

MLS-IV Coordinator’s Message Today the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to empower students to be lifelong learners by touching their minds to shape their future- An endeavor we remain committed to. Keeping in mind that the children look upon us as pacesetters, we nurture- Spirit, Soul and Body. The Spirit is the engine with a conscience, the Soul harbors intellect, emotion and will and all are housed in a physical body. Learning at our school is based on the fundamental principles of life: teaching the children to be courageous, confident, disciplined, responsible and loyal. As our children transition to high school, they are guided by our empathetic staff and the evolutionary Millennium Learning System. They are at a crucial juncture of life as they are faced with challenging choices and external assessments, all of which can prove to be very daunting. TMSB provides them with strong concept clarity, critical thinking and decision making skills, and ample drill and practice which will make them examination smart. At this age, we know that individual achievement is important therefore we focus on providing personalized attention. We empower them to learn and achieve academic success through our Mind Mapping Approach. The Millennium students thus set their foot forward to impact the future. I am pleased to acknowledge that TMSB lays its stress not just on academic excellence but on ‘character formation with academic excellence’. It motivates students to ‘always aim high’ and cultivate core values as a first place for the Divine, integrity of character and maturity in behavior, the pursuit of excellence and creative genius, respect of the human person with an emphasis for elders and teachers, loyalty to the nation and a balanced understanding of the prevailing global situation. I would like to end with the words of Martin Luther“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” MRS. MONICA UPPAL

MLS-III Coordinator’s Message

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” - Malcolm X Every new session gives us another opportunity to outsmart and reassess the prior year’s achievements of TMSB. It paves way for our self-evaluation and also enhances creativity and critical reflection in learners. We strive hard to provide a support mechanism which indeed helps learners to set goals and achieve them with confidence and sheer determination. Staying goal-oriented helps them move forward purposefully in life. They would, thus, surely have the pleasure of watching their dreams into reality. The Millennium Learning System (MLS) is an age-appropriate learning system that caters to the psychological, emotional and cognitive needs of the learner. It has different levels based on developmental milestones and age-appropriate pedagogy. MLS III curriculum is based upon helping the children map their knowledge to real life, hence this stage follows the Mind Mapping Approach to Learning. They are also taught several memory strategies, graphic organizers and mind maps which help them achieve academic success. MLS IV follows the Brain-Based Approach to learning. It provides them with strong concept clarity, critical thinking and decision-making skills. Its ample drill and practice makes them Examination Smart and prepares them to face the world. At this age, we know that individual achievement is very important, therefore we focus on providing personalized attention. It is interesting to see the pedagogy move from Mind Mapping to Brain -Based Learning at this stage. The Millennium students set their foot forward to impact the future and it is so evident here. Ms . Gagandeep Sidhu

MLS 2.0 Coordinator’s Message MLS-2.0, the second milestone of the MLS curriculum refers, to classes I to VIII. It is a perfect combination of experiential learning with theoretical knowledge. MLS-2.0 teaching techniques have changed the pace of the classroom and have provided a creative and friendly way to enhance students’ involvement, motivation, excitement, attention and perceived helpfulness and applicability of the concept. It seems a very small journey but the moral ethics, value and confidence that they are in this age group will help them throughout the journey of life. Understanding Child’s Psychology “A child’s mind is like wet clay in potter’s hand.” A child’s positive or negative attitude develops during his childhood itself. His overall attitude, perception and thinking are based on the early psychological pattern he could develop. Understanding your child is one of the most important things that parents need to learn to be effective in guiding and nurturing their children as they grow and mature. All the responsible parents must understand the following key points related to child psychology and for their better mental development: Children need to be attended to: Always be there for your child. Spend some quality time with them. Talk to them, play games or go for a visit. Allow them to share their feelings with you. Not every child has the same learning pattern: Every child has a unique learning style. It’s not necessary if he is good at sports; he should be good at studies as well. Encourage his talent whether it is rewarding or not. Children need to be motivated: Motivate your child for their work, their talent and even if he doesn’t finish his meal timely. This will create a cheerful attitude towards life. Always empathize: Always try to step into his shoes to avoid misunderstandings and to understand his emotional needs. As a parent, we have to identify their talent, nurture it and guide them to become a leader. Make your child psychologically healthy and ready for the future, right from early childhood. Ms. Amandeep Kaur Coordinator

LM Coordinator’s Message Learning is the process of constantly updating in an ever changing world. The first five year experience the most rapid changes of life and are critical in a child’s development. Children develop rapidly during this time; physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. Learning at our school is based on the fundamental principles of life; teaching the children to be courageous, confident, disciplined, responsible and loyal. Education at our school provides a foundation for a lifetime of learning and is great fun too. Little Millennium's Program levels have been strategically designed to ensure holistic development of your child. All Round Development Seven Petal curriculum that focuses on imparting key life skills along with brain development. Play Based Learning- One of the most advantageous ways to get your child to learn with fun. Events & Celebrations -We regularly celebrate various events and occasions that promotes good values and holistic child development. Structured Curriculum -Scientifically developed preschool curriculum for holistic development. I believe that enjoyment, self belief, the ability to keep trying with tricky questions and the willingness to practice and try new things out are essential for each child’s success. I would like to end with the words of Albert Einstein – “Imagination is more important than knowledge, for while knowledge defines all that we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.” With best wishes PARMINDER KAUR Coordinator

MY THOUGHTS (English Section)

NATURE How colourful the day is, How dark was the night! During the day my eyes see the blue sky, But at night everything was dark in front of my eyes, There were jokes, stories and beautiful smiles, And now there is a silent scream in my eyes, There was happiness and beautiful life, But now there is no hope and rest seem to be a lie. How fast the time ends, In a cycle that always trends, Embellished by the beautiful moon and the twinkling light, I am helpless as there is nothing to fight, How colourful the day is! How dark was the night!

Written by: Harneez Kaur Class III-B

NATURE God has given us a wonderful feature, Look around and observe nature, When you look high up in the sky, You‟ll see the birds which fly, During the winter, look at the rays of the sun, It makes us merry and lets us have fun, Check out the trees which are very green, In the mountains, you‟ll find beautiful streams, We should be kind to it, It‟ll help us to be fit, No wonder, it has its own charm, It is our duty not to harm, It is our duty not to harm. Written by: Gunreet Kaur Class V-B

WHY GOD MADE TEACHERS When God created teachers, He gave us the ultimate preachers, To understand this unique world, And to fly like a free bird, They help us to ponder, To comprehend the beauty and wonder, They act as a special guides, Who always help us to decide, The difference between right and wrong, To learn from our mistakes and become strong, By following their teachings and their grace, We always aspire to make the world a better place, When God created teachers, He gave us the ultimate preachers. Written by: Sehajveer Singh Class V-B

TECHNOLOGY: CHANGING THE FACE OF EDUCATION Nowadays, it is a fact that technology has played a pivotal role in the field education system. The gadgets like mobile phones, tablets, computers, laptops etc. are the key parts in improving the whole system. The teaching and learning process has become more convenient and effective for both the teachers and the students. If we look at the system a few years back, it was totally dependent upon bookish knowledge, but in today‟s time, technology has moulded the system and introduced new methods which attract the younger generation, as it provides better and more interesting ways to indulge the learners. Teachers have become more proficient and independent in their respective fields with the help of technology. I feel if technology is used to its best, it will definitely bring new changes in the field of education in the near future. Written by: Jishnu Garg Class V-B

MAYTIME MAGIC

MILLENNIUMITES

A little seed, For me to sow, A little earth, To make it grow, A little hole, A little pat, A little wish, And that is that. A little sun, A little shower, After a little while, And then, a flower! Written by: Gurleen Kaur Class V-B

We are proud to be the Millenniumites, We are as strong as dynamites, We go to school daily, And bloom like a lily, Our teachers are like Gods, They care for us and teach us like the lords, Our principal says that the children are like free birds She always inspires us with her kind words, We are proud to be the Millenniumites, We are as strong as the dynamites. Written by: Prabhgun Singh Class IV-B

Never Give Up When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging, seems all uphill, When funds are low and debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit Life is strange with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won he stuck it out, Don’t give up though the pace is slow, You may succeed with another blow Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to fair a faltering man, Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor’s cup And he learned too late when night came down, How close he was to the golden crown Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit...

Written by: Chandervir Singh Class V-B

Respect Your Elders “Respect your elders and the world will respect you.”

The quote says it all. It is very important for every individual to respect his/her elders. We must understand that our elders were not born elders. There was a time when they were kids like us and they crossed each path of their lives at a slow pace. If we want our present and future generations to respect us and carry our core values, then we have to set an example for the younger generation, by respecting elderly members of society. It is very unfortunate that these days elder people are not given the respect that they truly deserve as compared to our past generations. It won’t be wrong to say that they are ill-treated at times in houses, societies and at public places. They are always eager to pass on suggestions so that we don’t face any problems that they have gone through in the past, but in return, the only thing that they demand is love and affection. It is high time when we should ask a question to ourselves that how we would feel to bear with the same circumstances when we become old. It is time for us to start respecting our elders and set an example for the coming generations so that they understand the importance of respecting elders. Nowadays all generations expect same respect. I would like to end up with a simple thought “Give respect, take respect” Written by: Vyom Bansal Class V-B

MOM, MY GUARDIAN ANGEL I always wonder what land are you from, You feel like a cool breeze in the middle of dawn. I always wonder when you are gone. Whose shoulder would I cry on. I never met someone like you, who has the ability to get me out of the blue. And I have no clue, Where would I find someone else like you. You are from another land of fairies, not from here. You are my guardian angel who always took my care….. Jainisa Sharma (9A)

PRESSURIZED When I look ahead, towards my goal I feel confusion, through my soul. Feel so pressurized, don‟t know what to be I hide my pressure, so they don‟t see. They say “Life is short” though I believe It‟s never late if you yearn to achieve Grow so fast, yet feel so slow Keep it hidden, don‟t let it show When you feel like misery Close your eyes and you will feel Something that‟s a mystery That‟s for you to find and reveal. Hope is our Four-letter word If we‟re pressurized, don‟t let it burn.

LGBTQ Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities are still discriminated against just because they are different from us which is not acceptable. They are different from us does not mean that they should be treated differently. Just because people will make fun of them, they do not live happily, and they can‟t tell or confess that they are LGBTQ. It‟s their fault also. In the fear of people, they don‟t speak or live with dignity. They hide their feelings and desires. According to our constitution, being LGBTQ is legal but then also the situation is the same, not only in India but in many other countries. But in some countries, it is illegal, a crime to be LGBTQ. According to me, it is nothing to be ashamed of, infect, people should be proud that God made them different and special from us. They are different from us does not mean they should be treated badly or different. Those people should be ashamed of themselves who are narrow-minded. I am very proud because I live in a country where LGBTQ is legal. I hope people will start understanding. Anika (9B)

Nittu Fights Back Nittu, the sparrow started crying as soon as he reached home. His mother asked him. “What‟s the matter, Nittu? Why are you crying? Did someone trouble you?” “Yes, Mom,” said Nittu, still crying. His mother brought him a glass of water and said, “Drink some water and tell me everything.” Nittu stopped crying, drank the water and said, “On my way back from school, Romy, the crow bullied me again. I protested, but he grabbed my hand. Thankfully, my friend Pihu caught up with me. Seeing him, Romy fled at once. Mom, I won‟t come home from school alone. Please come and pick me up from tomorrow onwards.” Saying this, Nittu hugged his mother. His mother said, “Nittu, my son, you should be brave. You have to be confident enough to defend yourself.” Though his mother did her best to boost Nittu‟s confidence, she was still worried. She wondered if there was anything; she could do to make Nittu more self-confident in such a situation. As she was thinking about what she could do, she happened to see an advertisement in the newspaper about an upcoming summer camp at Nandavnan. It offered lessons on selfdefence. She decided that Nitu should go to the camp and take training in self-dcefence. That night, during dinner, Nittu‟s mother suggested the idea, “Son, your vacation is going to start soon and this year, there will be a summer camp in our forest. So, why don‟t you take lessons in self-defence in the camp? You can join art classes too since you like to paint,” Nittu liked the idea and agreed at once. He said, “Mom, I should ask Pihu too. He would also want to join the camp.” His mother said, “Son, that‟s a wonderful idea! Two is better than one.” Next day, Nittu talked to Pihu about the camp and Pihu readily agreed to join it. As soon as the vacations started, Nittu and Pihu joined the summer camp. They enjoyed themselves. They were learning new tricks and techniques everyday. They also made many friends. Every evening, Nittu and Pihu would go to the park and practice the techniques of self-defence they had learnt that day. With each passing day, they become better. Time flew so quickly that they did not realize that their vacation was over and summer camp was about to end. It was time for school to reopen. Pihu said, “Nittu, the school will reopen now. I wonder whether Romy will trouble us.” Nittu said, “No need to worry, Pihu. We have learnt enough to defend ourselves from Romy.” Nittu was no longer scared to go to school. He was confident now that he knew how to defend himself. One day, Nittu and Pihu were on their way back home from school. Suddenly, Romy came up to Nittu and was about to pull him. But Nittu quickly grabbed Romy‟s hand and with one swift twist, threw him to the ground. Romy was spellbound. He was so shocked that he did not even try to get up. “Now do you understand how it feels to be bullied?” asked Nittu smiling. Nittu and Pihu helped Romy get up. Romy realized his mistake. He said, “Sorry, Nittu. I will never bully anyone again”. Pihu said, “It‟s okay, Romy. We just want to develop friendly relations with you.” They shook hands and went home together.

Between me and you

Success=Failure

Between you and me I choose myself Between our choices I choose mine Between fake and reality I choose my existence Between likes and dislikes I choose to love myself the most Everything that was between me and you is what I have ended Yes! This is what true love is, True love is self-love.

Success is good! But failure is important!! If you win everything you‟ll be overconfident. Without failure, you‟ll never succeed The only thing you would be left with would be greed! Don‟t lose the common touch or have your success crush Get this lesson for your life that failure and success are both bright! Thus, when you lose, don‟t lose your will, because when you lose, you actually WIN!! Athmika Jain (9A)

Money He asked his wife to bury him with all his money, so this is what she did…… There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved the money more than anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now listen, when I die I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. Because I want to take all my money to the afterlife." So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died she would put all the money in the casket with him. Well one day, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her best friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, “wait a minute.” She had a shoebox with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away. Her friend said, “I hope you weren‟t crazy enough to put all that money inside the box with that stingy old man.” She said, “Yes, I promised. I‟m a good Christian, I can‟t lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.” “You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?” “I did,” said the wife. “ I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a cheque.

Just Hold On

Ray of Hope

My Trepidation

High up in the sky The Sun is shining Makes the sky beautiful and brightening I can hear The chirping of the birds The color of the sky is yellow and orange It is spread over the very large range The Sun is setting The sky is getting Dark, dark and dark The Sun is saying bye The Moon is saying hi The Moon is brightening The stars are twinkling The birds are waiting For the next morning

Don‟t cry, smile I‟m not afraid of tears or danger, But of broken relations. Not afraid of failing, But of losing someone‟s hope. Not afraid of ghosts, But of hurting the ones who care more. Not afraid of heights, But of losing the ones I love. Not afraid of death, But of hating myself. Not afraid of struggles, But of not making effort. Not afraid of drowning, But of disrespecting others. Not afraid of falling, But of not landing.

Holding onto something longer, Can make you a lot more stronger. When your brain tells you to stop. Tell it that you are not a bot. You have a heart and you follow it, Even if it leads you into a pit You know that you will get out For help, you don‟t need to shout…….. Because holding onto something longer, Can make you a lot more stronger So always believe in yourself Because you are not some stupid elf You control your own life, Not someone else, not your wife….. So hold onto what you want to do longer, it can make you stronger Do what you want…… While ignoring all the taunts It actually hurts as hell….. It is a pain in words that no one can tell But just hold onto it longer….. As it makes you stronger…… To do it all And break down the wall. Jainisa Sharma (9A)

Nature The grass ruffles, The insects chatter, The mountains stand high, The water flows by, Animals play at night. This is our nature, And we must protect it with our might. Man thinks that everything is mine, But does not know how to share and care, For he is taking it light. Nature has its way and it will bite whoever dares try to defy. Vinay Bansal (9A)

Friendship There is a friend Only to lend With a friendship that never ends. Friendship is nice With no age and size It is a power of joy That never annoys Friendship is a wonderful thing That gives you powerful wings. Kavya Chaturvedi (6A)

Mom War!!! My heart feels pain Whenever I think about the war between Russia and Ukraine. The world witnessed humongous killings Because of the ego of two kings. Many are homeless Many are starving Oh, God! Please do something to stop this cursing. Shrey Kansal (9A)

Her life revolves around us, She makes our life like a virus. Her life is full of hurdles, Give her a shoulder. Fill her life with joy, Don‟t use her as a toy. She is cute, Let‟s show her the right route. She is tough, Don‟t be rough. She and I share a special bond, Her love is bigger than 1000 pounds. Anika Garg (9B)

Women‟s Day I DREAM OF A WORLD I dream of a world where No other man bills scorn, Will love will bless the earth And peace, its path adorn. I dream of a world where all When no sweet freedom‟s way, Where greed no longer saps the soul No avarice blight our day, A world I dream of where black or white, Whatever race you be, Will share the bounties of the earth And every man is free Where wretchedness will hang its head, And joy, like a pearl, Attends the needs of all mankind Of such a dream, my world. Sabreet Kaur (X B)

Why do we celebrate women‟s day? I was left in dismay. Why should we have a day celebrated For our lifelong work, we are validated We are strong and we are unique We have enjoyed a career and its peak If men understand Our strength they have to comprehend Where there is a woman, there is a magic With us, life cannot be tragic Keep your hand and heel high and tall Ensure that your crown does not fall. Rehmat Kaur Sivia (7B)

Trees A tree has a dark green crown. It gives fruit and food. It has a trunk above the ground. It gives medicine and wood. Fresh oxygen for health is good. Plant more trees to save livelihood. Hushmeep Sharma (8A)

LIFE ISN‟T EASY You thought life is easy, but now you know, It‟s all hail stones her before the snow. If you are prepared for anything. If you are prepared to face the light There should be a feeling so bright. Every situation gives you an experience, no matter sweet or bitter, Every unsolved problem makes you pensive and quitter. So you thought was easy, but now you know it is not, You have to live and enjoy and never be greedy for a lot. Now I truly like to confess and want you to know, Everyone‟s life is more difficult than they all show. Gurleen Kaur(X B)

MEET ME! I hide from the light, I hide in the deep shadows. You may have guessed that right, I am a vampire, your dear fellow. My canines are long, I make people scream, Yes, I may be the King Kong, With colour fair as beauty cream. Blood is my favourite food, You even maybe my next prey, Why are you scared dude! I might or might not harm you in the day. Tegnoor Singh Sidhu (X A)

A PSALM OF MY DAY

A TALK WITH MYSELF

Today was the absolute worst day ever And don‟t try to convince me that There‟s something good in everyday Because when you take a closer look This world is a pretty evil place. Even if Some goodness the shine through once in a while Satisfaction and happiness don‟t last. And it‟s not true that It‟s all in the mind and heart Because True happiness can be obtained Only if someone‟s surroundings are good It‟s not true that good exists I‟m sure you can agree that The reality Creates My attitude It‟s all beyond my control And you‟ll never in a million years hear me say that Today was a good day.

Life will bring you up, Then slam you down. I‟ll write the highs with you, Intoxicated of each other‟s essence. And for the low, when you come falling down, I will be your soft place to land. For I know the cost of burning bright, Maybe a dark crash Write your worries with your fingertips across my torso, So you can get that pressure off your chest. Whisper secrets of your weaknesses, And I will Thunder back your strength. A lightning love that keeps striking, A whirlwind of emotions. Let my eyes be another lens, You used to see yourself beautiful anew. And my voice, a familiar echo, That saves you from your own minds false truths Teaching you to let go of conditions, By simply loving you….. Unconditionally. Dhwani Goel (X A)

(Read from bottom to top for a positive meaning.) Bhawish Goyal (X B)

UNIVERSE We are just tiny dots in the universe So miniscule compared to all The entities in this void of space oh so diverse Ever wondered how one could be so small? The gigantic planets or the massive stars Or the enigmatic celestial bodies left undiscovered To the black holes and nebulas and galaxies nearby Who knew the cosmos would be so coloured The opalescent sky that holds countless things untold We gaze upon it, waiting for it to unfold Us humans pride ourselves on how big we are in life Inflating our egos and walking around being full of ourselves But in search of statues and power One loses their worth and themselves When compared to the objects of far beyond We are of little to no significance, to say the worse No matter how high on the pedestal of hubris, you put yourself on In reality, we all are just tiny dots in the Universe. Aarna Mantha (X B)

IDOLATRY Your arrival so unplanned unknown Yet gradually on me, your presence has grown. My hand in yours, which your fingers contour, Seal so much more than a friendship that endures. What we share is the ethereal and ineffable, For this love is so affectional. A reminiscence of your smile and echo of voice, Stay engraved in my memory as I rejoice. Never expected of fellowship to flourish manifolds, I await the adventure our journey by beholds. To my problems again, I shall never cave, As you are, as you are by my side from cradle to grave. But dear, will you ever come out of this book? Or only in my vision at you, I should take another look! Soumaya Gupta (X B)

THE FEELING OF BEING LOST IN A BOOK…. The feeling of being lost in a book, Come lets have a look! It is just as a dream of visiting a new world, With kings and queens who are pearled; With fairies and cities which are puzzled, So amazing I can‟t express it in words! When someone calls you can‟t hear; Even when the person calling is near. When dinner seems to be waiting; And you don‟t feel like sleeping. This means you have been lost in a book! When you don‟t realize that the night has passed Reading the which is so deep and vast. When you feel the emotions and pain, Which words try to explain; This means you have been lost in a book! hat are scattered on the page. When you start imagining yourself; As the character of the Novel. When you turn the last page; And feel as if you have lost your friend as well! This means you have been lost in a book!
