This world is a confusion, where

Everything is an illusion.

Its contents are deceptive,

But the cover is attractive.

So

Fight its forces and make

Your own courses.

Your character is your ‘armour’,

Your confidence is your sword.

Head my counsel, and you will

Surely receive your reward.

— Bikramjit Singh, +1, Non-medical,
R.S.D. College, Ferozepur.

Hard work, smart work and dedication,

Make come true your imagination.

You want to become something,

But for this you have to know one thing,

It’s time to be serious, time to be curious,

Time to be speedy and fast,

Time to set your priorities right,

So that your future is shiny and bright.

It might sound tiresome,

But it heads you straight to your destination.

I am now a senior which is nice to be,

To be respected by all and feel free.

Juniors obey us all and listen to what we say,

And this makes us confident and gay.

To be a senior is a nice experience,

Though some of us make teachers tense.

My joy on becoming a senior I cannot tell,

I’m looked after so well.

To be a senior is very nice,

You’re lions and no more mice.

— Tarunjit Singh, Class X,
Shimla Public School, Shimla.
