The Dreadful Experience

There was peculiar stillness in the air; not a leaf stirred; not a whiff of wind blew. It looked like calm before the storm. Unmindful if these foreboding signs, I set out on playing football. 
Soon black clouds gathered above me but I was intent on playing. I hoped that the clouds would go away so that u could continue playing. 
Hardly had I got into the empty abode when down came the rain with all its fury, accompanied by peals of thunder and flashes of lightning. The thunder claps were so deafeningly loud and the flashes across so terrific bright that I was almost frightened to death. I ran towards a large tree under which I had parked my bicycle. The tree provided me shelter from rain and I was tempted to remain under it. However, I knew it was dangerous to stay under it during a thunderstorm. So I got on my bicycle and paddled off.
It was just about he fiercest storm I had ever been in. The driving rain made cycling difficult as I couldn't see more than a couple of meters in front of me. A car flashed past me and it was just about to crash and smash me. It was too close for comfort. Perhaps the driver didn't even see me. So I thought to stop somewhere before I pound myself and clash with someone. This was truly a storm like the ones in the mountainous regions. After some time, the beautiful soaring birds were also not visible. For over an hour, we were held up, and during that time the storm raged and caused much havoc.
When the storm abated and finally calm set in, one could see the destruction caused. Trees were uprooted and roofs of the thatched houses were blown off.
Never did u witness a more horrible seen than this. I thanked God for my safety and secretly prayer that another dreadful experience like this should not befall on me.

THE GREAT CHESS CHALLENGE

Write a diary entry from Akbar's perspective showing his carelessness and what Lilavati wanted to teach him in the story THE GREAT CHESS CHALLENGE ! I am writing down this blunder , a big mistake of mine in this diary so that whenever I will read what I wrote down , it will re-memorise me my mistake which I would not like to repeat for the welfare of my people. I am the custodian of my kingdoms welfare. I'm a sovereign and I am a master in playing chess so how can Lilavati even be successful in defeating me even if I ignore the fact that she has defeated me. I don't believe that she has fooled a potent and a superior King Who is also known as the great king . a clever, imaginative request can open closed doors and closed minds. she has totally left me outraged and chastised.  The lesson she has taught me itself have words that keep some significance. Days had grown and easy and miserable as the jeering laughter of the courtiers had begun to die down. I should take deci...

In the Bazaars of the Hyderabad by Sarojini Naidu... (CRITICAL APPRECIATION)

Write a critical appreciation of the poem IN THE BAZAARS OF THE HYDERABAD. In the poem "In the Bazaars of the Hyderabad" , Sarojini Naidu has described the beauty of a traditional Indian 'Market' or 'bazaar'. She has touched upon all five senses and has been trying to unite the Indians to drive the British out of India. She is trying to encourage the Indians to buy goods from their traditional markets rather than purchasing foreign goods. When I read the poem, I liked the whole poem itself and there wasn't any part I disliked as there was a special charm in the lyrics. It did a picturesque and a spectacular description of the Indian wares. This poem is also a reminder of the truth of life , that there are both happy and sad phases in life which we have to face.  Only the second, fourth and the sixth line of each stanza were rhythmic. Visual imagery is depicted with the use of vibrant colours like silver, crimson, purple etc. She has also used si...

Palanquin-Bearers by Sarojini Naidu.... (CRITICAL APPRECIATION)

Write A critical appreciation of the poem Palanquin Bearers by Sarojini Naidu... In  Palanquin-Bearers,  Sarojini Naidu shows and describes the cultural and heritage beauty and feelings of a bride as well as feelings of the palanquin bearers   . The poet evokes the magnificent day of brides which changes their life. The royal princess is not at all a burden for them but a privilege as she sits and dream for her future. I liked the 2nd part of the poem very much as this part expresses  the joy and pride of the palanquin bearers though I didn't like the parts where there were repetitions such as gaily O Gaily or lightly O lightly etc. The rhyme scheme of the poem was aa,bb,cc and so on . On the other hand there were literary devices that were also used such as similes…like a flower in the wind or like a bird on the foam etc. alliteration such as she sways or she springs gave a very vibrant and a rhythmic outlook . I was satisfied by a line "we bear her along like...
