I learnt cycling!

Though my father bought a cycle for me when i was around eight, I was obstinate, scared and unwilling to learn to ride it.
After a year, when my father and mother realized that i would probably never learn to cycle, they gave it away.
I didn't feel bad about it. I actually felt relived.

Around three months ago, my friends and i were having a discussion on what we don't know to do.
I admitted that i don't know to cycle. My friends were prettty shocked and did make fun of me for a while, but let it go later.

This isn't what made me ask my parents for a cycle.

I realized that i am missing something that is really awesome. A form of exercise, a form of commuting and a form of FUN!

I didn't have to beg my my mom or dad. I asked them for a cycle and they bought it for me the next week.

The first two days of my cycle lessons were abysmal. I was a little too scared to actually lift my feet of the ground (this cycle didn't have training wheels).

As the days progressed, so did my cycling abilities.

I diligently worked everyday to get my balance right.
And I finally did get it.

I can now proudly say I KNOW TO CYCLE!!!

I dedicate this post to my mom for trusting me and buying another cycle though i didn't use the first one.
My dad because he encouraged me to learn to ride it.
My domestic help- Suguna aunty who actually TAUGHT me to ride my cycle.
And finally to myself, Who learnt to overcome fear and achieve something.

My attempt at poetry.

I was 9 years old when i first started writing poetry. I was fascinated with the "rhymy-rhymy" words at the end of every line. I started reading poetry after that, and then started writing it.

This poem was written when i was 10 and goes like this:

Please bring me a boat
And a coat
And also get my goat
And an ice-cream float


Please call my pig
Which is big
And wears a wig
To dig

My dog
Whose name is Frog
Sleeps like a log
In the fog

The princess had a pea
Which smelt of tea
And looked like a bumble bee
But it was a key
Which she gave to me

The only thing i was interested in was to make the words rhyme. Now when I sit back and read the poems I have written, I laugh until i fall off.

My poetry did improve after a while. I started writing things that did make some sense.

I always loved to write stories. But i couldn't for a simple reason that once i started writing it, I would lose interest after a while. Poetry isn't like that. It is a burst of emotion and takes hardly any time to write if you know what you feel.

That's it for now.

Please note: I know i am going back on what i said in my last post ( that i wouldn't come online) But I just happened to have some time and i decided to blog.
Hoping i get more time to post one of my recent poems.

ComeBACK!

I haven't posted for a long long lonnngggg time. I was missing my blog incredibly and decided that whatever happens, I will blog today.

My exams are coming up. They start on march 4th and i have a huge amount of work to do.
These exams will have a 60% effect on my grades. So it is crucial that I should do them well.

School is going on well. Competitions are being held and won/lost.

The unfortunate thing about studying is that every minute i spend studying is like an hour but every hour I spend on the computer is like a minute.

I have decided to say goodbye to the computer till I finish my exams.

So i sign off by wishing everyone (including me) all the best for their upcoming exams.

Please note: I know that this is a slightly disjointed, random and a very short post. I will be back with much better and longer posts as soon as my exams get over.
