ALONE AT HOME


It was quite some time after daddy and mummy had gone. Lia looked at the pussy cat which was trying to catch the fish in the aquarium. “He can’t catch it” thought Lia. “As the aquarium is so high”. She took the phone and carefully dialled the number.”9…….4……6….7……” Hello, she said. ‘The number you have called is not accepting the call at this moment. Please try again later’. The same voice. She threw away the phone with anger. “Why is mom and dad not coming? “She yelled.” oh no! after some time it will be night. And there will be power cut. Oh god! Please help me. Dark at night……alone at home………power cut!.........today is the worst day in my life. She looked at the window. “Is someone coming? No, it’s only my imagination. But I think someone is coming “.”yeh! I am right. Someone is coming! Is that the child who came yesterday for milk? “No, it is not he. Then who is coming? Is that a GHOST?

                       The body came near to her house. The current was gone.so she could not recognize who was coming.it rang the bell. Lia was shivering and she slowly came without making sound.” Tinnnnnnnnn………” the bell rang once more. She, looked once more from the window. “No, I can’t recognize who is this?”. The bell rang once more. She, with all her courage, ready to run slowly opened the door. Yeh! Its G…H…OOS…T.” No dear, it’s you……” she didn’t hear the words. She ran as fast as she could to the underground home. She was sweating. Once again, she looked from the underground room’s small hole. “No, its not seen “suddenly the current came, and she looked. It was DAD and MOM !!!she came and told them all about her experience. They along with Lia laughed madly.

The Trek Inside Conolly’s Plot – Teak Plantation at Nilambur

College days are always filled with little adventures, and one such memorable experience was our trip to Conolly’s Plot in Nilambur. The trip was part of our fifth module at MDC, and though it was academic in purpose, it turned out to be far more than just an ordinary study visit. Two of our teachers and eight students, including me, set out together on this short but beautiful journey. The Journey Begins We boarded our college bus up to Pandikkad and from there switched to a private bus that would take us to Nilambur. The ride was a little tiring, and I even felt a bit nauseous along the way. Still, the excitement of visiting the famous teak plantation kept my spirits high. We reached around 11:30 AM. At the entrance, I treated myself to some salted gooseberries – a simple but refreshing snack that instantly lifted my mood. What made the journey even more special was the way our teachers mingled with us. They weren’t just supervisors but felt more like companions, sharing jokes and en...

Wayanad: The Emerald Heart of Kerala

I've always been drawn to places where the air is fresh, the landscapes are painted in a hundred shades of green, and life moves at a gentle, unhurried pace. That’s exactly what I found in Wayanad, Kerala’s enchanting hill station. Tucked away in the misty folds of the Western Ghats, Wayanad is a land where every turn reveals something magical—from ancient caves and cascading waterfalls to vast tea plantations and whispering forests.

Day 1: Chasing the Clouds at Chembra Peak and the Heart-Shaped Lake My Wayanad adventure began with a trek to the district’s highest point—Chembra Peak. We started early in the morning, breathing in the cool mountain air mixed with the scent of damp earth. The trail wound its way through lush tea plantations and dense forest paths. The highlight of the climb was Hridayasarassu, the heart-shaped lake that sits just below the summit—straight out...
