Grinch – Haiku by Anita Bacha

Green Grinch

Green Grinch steals the sweets
Who pudding and sugarplums
Small heart wants the treats

Anita Bacha

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a children’s Christmas book by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author. It follows the Grinch, a cranky, solitary creature who attempts to thwart the public’s Christmas plans by stealing Christmas gifts and decorations from the homes of the nearby town of Whoville on Christmas Eve. As a result of the townspeople’s response, the Grinch realizes that Christmas is not all about money and presents.

I am one of the lucky ones who has read this absorbing #storybook published in 1957 when my dad well aware of my love for books
Offered me‘How the Grinch stole #Christmas by #Dr Seuss for my birthday.

I remember with pride and nostalgia the subtle ways of my parents to encourage me and my siblings to read and write.

Christmas is not all about glitter,money and presents.

Legacy – A Poem by Anita Bacha

In her steps,I tread

Her love a guiding light

With every word she said

She showed me what is right

Lovely as a summer day

She taught me by example

In her own gentle caring way

Her wisdom a precious sample

I picked her pen when she left

Her legacy in my hands

In my poems and in my writes

My mom’s spirit forever stands

Happy Children’s Day

The best tool you can give a child is a pen.

Education

Education begins at home.

I was happy to learn that I sold the first copy of my children’s book,The Princess and the Crow,within few days it was put for sale on the online store Amazon.

The customer lives in Parlika, a village in Rajasthan, known as the birth place of Hindi poetry writers and shayari composers .

In the picture below, children are reading at home. Home is where education begins. When we teach our children to read and write, we open their eyes to the beautiful people and things in the whole world around them.

The second picture is that of the Noble Prize Winner of Literature in 1913, Rabindranath Tagore.

‘The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.’ Rabindranath Tagore
