The Inspection

“Wush...Wush...Wush” a voice was heard and the car stopped. “Fredd and Kevin something’s happened! The car has stopped. Let’s step out of the car and see what has happened.” I said. “Come on! Leave your phones!” I continued. “Alright Andrew, we are just coming.” Said Fredd and Kevin. I was trembling out of fear but still trying to change the tyre. Every sweat of mine was a proof of terror in my mind but both of my friends were so busy that they didn’t even have a single idea what was going through me.
We continued our journey not knowing where we had to go. We were foreigners so we stepped out of the hotel in order to go for an adventure. We met a man there who told us that we were heading towards Ajmer. We searched on Google what all was there to go in Ajmer. We finally had decided to en route our journey towards Bhangarh.
While our expedition towards Bhangarh, after changing the punctured tyre of the car, when we headed our journey, we bumped into a lady wearing a white sari. We all were quailing with fear and terror had loomed in front of our eyes. Kevin shouted “It’s an accident guys! Is the lady dead? Or is she fainted? Let’s take her to the hospital!” me, Kevin and Fredd tip-toed and stepped out of the car. We saw a lady wearing a white sari, not fainted, not dead, alive and smiling. We all were shocked that she was too strong that even after getting so much hurt, the smile on her face didn’t disappear. Suddenly, she vanished. We rushed to the car and I drove dreadfully so that we can reach there as soon as possible.
It was 4:00PM and only half kilometre was left to reach there when we saw a board saying: WARNING! DON’T DRIVE YOUR CAR BEYOND THIS AREA. IT IS UNEVEN AND STONY.
 I had a feeling of metaphysics but still we stepped out and walked until we reached the Bhangarh fort. We hired a guide so that we wouldn’t face much problem inside the fort. The guard there already said us to come out of the fort by dusk otherwise he’d lock us here itself.
We moved in and saw many traditional and magical things in the fort. We were so engaged to see the beauty and the things kept there that we didn’t realise it was six. The guide said that he wanted to go to the washroom but didn’t come back. Who knew it was just an excuse to go out of the fort. When it was high time and he didn’t return, Fredd said “Guys, our guide didn’t return. What might have happened?” Kevin replied “Excuse me, may I please know what’s the time?” I told him that it was 7:00PM and that was his excuse for rushing back to his home. I was totally shaking with trepidation and apprehension but still I didn’t say a word because Kevin and Fredd would have surely made fun of me that I was such a coward. Kevin and Fredd were talking to each other that we have come too far from the main entry and anyways till now there’s not even a single sign of horror inside. I knew that Indian who was telling us all of this was lying.
After 2-3 minutes of silence, I heard the jingling of anklets. I stuttered but said Kevin and Fredd that I’m able to hear voices of anklets. “Really Andrew baby? So sweet? I’ll just say the ghost to run away! Okay little baby?” said Fredd, laughing endlessly followed by Kevin. I patted them to turn around because I saw that huge ghost of the magician who cursed the princess and other people in the fort.  They turned, saw and were totally pale. We three were standing at one place without even blinking once and then swiftly ran so that he could never have come after us.
Whatever had happened till now, we all had realised that this wasn’t a nightmare rather this was a reality. After facing all of this we all had set our teeth on edge.
I have always been a coward and manipulative but I’ve never shown such strength.After all of this, three of us decided to return back so that at least we were safe.We were so afraid and petrified that it had given us palpitations.While returning back, The Fort Was smelling of Anxiety and Restlessness and we could hear some classical music. All of a sudden, something with a malevolent smile and cruel expression was visible, realising, it was none other than the apparition of the magician who was following us before. He had eyes of the deepest blue-green of the Celtic Sea and flaxen hair, which although matted and unkempt.We were stuttering and quivering in fright but were totally helpless. We had only one option to save our lives, which was to run. And so we did that.We ran hurriedly and finally reached the entrance door. In anxiety, we forgot that the guard would have locked us because it was more than 6:00pm.We tried to climb the door, once, twice, thrice, but were unsuccessful. The poltergeist of the scruffy magician was continuously trying to pull us down to kill us. He'd even scrapped off mine and Fred's legs with his sharp, pointed nails. He was not even shutting his mouth rather continuously was making noise. We tried several times and were lucky enough to get out of the fort.Me and fredd were not in a condition to walk till the car, so we were helped by Kevin. He took us till the car and sat in it In Order to drive and rush back to the hotel. Kevin tried to on the car but as soon as he used to change the gear, the car used to stop. Me and fredd were totally baffled that what was happening to our car as it was totally working fine before entering the fort. Kevin said that this is a paranormal activity and it is all because of the magician who has scrapped off your legs too. This was truly an uncanny nocturnal.“Never had we experienced such an ordeal ever, and never, I trust, shall such ever be seen again by mortal eyes.” Concluded Fredd and Kevin.

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...
