Like Magic

I had funny thought yesterday, well, it finally struck my head, that in a week, my third term was going to start... the third and final term of the school year, the final term of my school years. It was quite hard to grasp, for an emtional twist was added on.... so i decided to do what i do... write a poem about it...and voilĂ ! I think i many would feel the same way as they reach the end of the first major part of their lives - the school days. But, its time to carry on naa.....


Twelve magical years
Have passed oh so swiftly
In a beat of a heart,
In a glimpse of a second

It started out, an upside down fairytale
Only to ripen into an epic drama,
The only unwritten Shakespearean grandeur,
The never been scored Mozart symphony.

The memories hover in the air like the hummingbird,
Sunnily relishing the sweet nectar of the last bloom
Yet, conspicuously, ever turbulent, swirling
Like the ball in the last hoop of the season.

A birth of innocence in childhood,
Molded into more tricksy behaviour,
Tremendous excitement coupled,
Zipping through the galaxy, never to stop

Brimming my mind with
Ideas, ideals, culture, and life
Carving its way to the deepest of thoughts
Strangest of emotions
Discovering a new path to tread

The second home
The place not known for the education
But the love and warmth
Cascading and drowning infinitely

The friendships that blossomed
The wings that spread
Every second enjoyed, brought
The brightest of smiles
The most beautiful people

Magical indeed they were, the reminiscence
Of the past will live on in another dimension
Revisited every once in a while
Through yearbooks, pictures, and tea-table talks

A tear drop falls, a snowflake star
Shatters like crystal, shards in all directions
Smudging the very last words,
The reflections of a past experiences

Now, the future awaits the beginning of a new epic.
The quill is set, the ink is drawn
And the now the beginning, back to innocence
And it feels like magic.

Year 7 : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows



Rowling Names Last Book In Potter Saga

LONDON (Reuters) - British author J.K. Rowling revealed on Thursday that the long-awaited seventh and final book in her wizard saga will be called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," sparking the next phase of Pottermania.
Fans of the series that has already sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide were kept guessing with the publication date not set -- although that did not stop one U.S. bookseller from starting to take reservations.
The intriguing and ominous title had Potter aficionados puzzling over what might happen to the bespectacled hero.
"Will a favorite character die? Could Harry himself face a grisly demise? How will it all end?" asked Sam Harrison, children's buyer at the British bookchain Waterstone's.
"But surely the question all Potter fans will want answering as soon as possible is -- when can they get their hands on a copy?"
Rowling, whose creation has turned her into one of the world's richest and most successful authors, revealed on her Web site this week "I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more."
"I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry, I will)."
She said in the diary entry on her official Web site (www.jkrowling.com) that Potter had now inveigled his way into her dreams.
"For years now, people have asked me whether I ever dream that I am 'in' Harry's world," Rowling wrote. "The answer was 'no' until a few nights ago when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the narrator."
But she gave no clues as to what will happen at the end of the upcoming book, amid speculation that some of the characters, possibly Harry himself, will die.

SciFi Challenge!


$1000 for a short sci-fi story! Who wouldn’t want to put in their heads into it?!
Only thing is, these shouldn’t be short, they should be really really short! As in a sentence or two or less! And must be science fiction and must be a story with a beginning and end… or neverending?!. Writing long epics is much easier than this challenge! Well I gave it a shot with a couple of stories here. I need to choose one … and hoping your ideas will help… I don’t mind parting with some of the prize money!
