An Amazing Journey - Aagnik Biswas, Class - IX

I had a great opportunity to go for an amazing trip to SANDAKPHU with my dad. I travelled from Howrah to NEW JALPAIGURI by train. I started my journey on Sunday afternoon. I remember that the time was 3 p.m. I went to the railway station with my dad. Then the train arrived at the station and we boarded the train. The train journey was for 1 day. I was getting bored in the train as I had nothing to do. I watched a movie and some videos regarding trekking. I saw lot of places on the way .Finally we arrived at NEW JALPAIGURI STATION. Then we took a cab and moved forward for SANDAKPHU where we checked in to a hotel. After that we all had lunch and had a good amount of sleep which was extremely necessary. There came the day when we had to go for trekking .I told my dad to call me at 4:00 am and by God’s grace I woke up but it was extremely cold,the water was freezing. Somehow we had tea and we went for trekking. We sat in a jeep which took us to our destination. We reached a point where we had to trek 18kms by walking and it was steep slope. On the way I saw a lot of wild animals and fruits which I had never seen before. I was very tired but my dad motivated me. Then it was dusk and I saw a Maggi point where my dad and I had Maggi and tea. It was getting extremely cold, the temperature was -4 °C. We got a tent to sleep but the wind didn’t let us sleep. During the dinner time we all sat near a bonfire and had dinner. The guide used to tell accident stories which happened in the past. After hearing those I was very much scared. On the 6th day we reached the top of the mountain Makalu. Due to high altitude I was having breathing problems. I had to take oxygen and finally on the 7th day we came down and had good food. Then came back home safely. It was an amazing experience as it was my first trekking and I wish to go on a trip like that again.

Tour to Puri with My Parents - by Samadrita Roy Choudhury (IA)

  Tour to Puri with My Parents Three years ago I went to Puri with my parents. I was amazed to see the charming big sea. There was a lot of sand on the sea beach. I made a sand castle. Our hotel was in front of the sea beach. I used to see the sea throughout the day from the hotel room. I played with my parents on the sea beach. We had a lot of fun together. We also visited the Jagannath Temple for puja. It is always a sweet memory for me and I want to visit Puri again. By Samadrita Roy Choudhury I A

Incredible India

India is indeed incredible .To explore the past of this phenomenal country, some of my friends and I planned a trip to Murshidabad followed by Plassey . The historic city of Murshidabad lies on the bank of the river Bhagirathi, a distributor of the Ganga that very rarely comes across the minds of youths. But the mesmerizing beauty of Murshidabad is undefined. As soon as I stepped on Murshidabad station, the smell of the wet soil (Kachchimitti) attracted me to the glorious past of India . We spent our day by visiting the Hazarduari Mahal , the Nasir Palace , the Kathgola Gardens and many other places. The next day we all left Murshidabad and set for plassey that is 40 kms away. Yes, the place Plassey where the historic battle between Siraj - ud - Daulah and Robert Clive took place on 23 June 1757. The historic battle led to the start of Durga Puja in Bengal which is a heritage . The unfortunate victory of British over India in the Battle of Plassey led the Company rule firmly set on Ind
