Change for Jaipur

Summer is fun but blazing hot! The heat is blistering all around Jaipur. It is scorching and one can’t look up at the sun at all! Soon the people of Jaipur will be sizzling on a barbecue. Good thing that heat doesn’t smell otherwise that would be bad. A cool refreshing snack would be enough for all of them. Everyone was sweating buckets. Don’t be burnt to a crisp by the boiling sun. They all have their Air conditioners on. Oh, how relaxing that would be. Surfing would be awesome in the ocean but that is too hot. Don’t roast Marshmallows in the fire anymore. Take out ice creams from the freezer to survive this sizzling summer.

In the location of the sizzling summer, there was a girl called Rekha. She had sparkling blue eyes with beautiful blonde hair. She was passionate and amazing in her work.

She dreamed of becoming an Environmentalist one day to change the world. She believed it was scorching hot due to climate change. She wanted to change this blistering hot place to a cool green city. It was so hot the Jaipur folks switched on the AC and then there would be an Electricity shortage in many areas.

Jaipur didn’t know what was coming at them. Rekha tried to convince a lot of people to grow lots of trees and save water. Many of them were not listening and instead, they were using their supplies and sources carelessly. Soon water crisis arrived and there was not a lot of water. Rekha started to worry and did not know what to do. She would cry in the corner and even started having minor panic attacks. She would sometimes go to therapy to let her unpleasant emotions flow out of her heart.

One day she was walking back from school and bumped into a signboard due to her dizziness. She was amazed to see what was written on the board. It said, “It is time to make a change for Jaipur. Let’s get together to save the city ”. Rekha felt hope that maybe someone was willing to work with her. She called the number mentioned on the board and waited for the person to pick up the call. “Hello “said the person on the call. “Who is this? “. Rekha replied, “I am Rekha. I saw your sign board. I wanted to work with you to save the city from this heat”.  The person replied, “Of course! Why not! I am sending you my office address and you can stop by anytime you want”. Happily, Rekha replied, “Thank you, have a great day “.

When the man had sent the address to her, she could feel a bulge of excitement. She had never felt so ecstatic before. All the burden of Jaipur on her head finally disappeared from her. She ran back home and thought that her family members would be proud of her which is amazing.

It will take many years of work to achieve her dream. The man and Rekha never gave up or lost hope. They worked with many organizations to make the city a better place for everyone. They believed that the citizens of Jaipur would support them. Their effort bore fruit. People started planting trees everywhere, reduced plastic usage, and preferred local transport over private transport. All these efforts turned the city into an eco-friendly environment surrounded by greenery. Soon Jaipur was eco-friendly and a green city. Rekha was proud of her city and herself.

Brownie & Cocoa Summer Dream

It was a scorching hot summer day. People were sweating like crazy pigs.  There was a volcano erupting inside every human and non-human. Every room in the whole town had an air conditioner on. The pool was filled with hundreds of people. The ice-creams in shops were getting sold out in minutes. Dogs and cats were panting, and all the birds were sitting under the shade of large leaves on huge trees.  It was the most boiling summer people had seen for decades.

Witnessing all of this, were the dogs, Brownie and Cocoa, two little Shih-Tzus. They too were feeling like somebody had put them in an oven. In fact, probably worse, because they had thick fur coats. Brownie was a female, with white fur, and brown spots, the colour just like the brownie you eat. Cocoa was a male, who also had a white fur coat, but grey spots. His name was Cocoa, because his spots used to be a shade of brown, that looked like cocoa powder, but now these spots turned into grey color. They were sitting in their owner, Meera’s, room.

They were feeling delighted because a few days ago, they had heard Meera’s mother’s conversation on the phone. They had caught a few words, like Brownie and Cocoa, haircut, and 10^th May. They knew a haircut meant getting all their fur cut off, which always made them feel much cooler. Soon, the doorbell rang. When Meera opened the door, it was the Dog Groomer. “Ruff ruff ruff” Brownie barked, which in dog language, meant “Yay! Yay! Yay!” “Woof” Cocoa answered, meaning, “me first.” They both had plenty of fun when they got wet for bathing.

Later on, they found out, it was their 1^st birthday that day, whatever it was supposed to mean. They both shared the same wish. They wanted to be a human for one day. Meera had ordered a dog cake from her own pocket money, and she was telling them, that since they couldn’t blow out any candles, they had to make a wish when they ate their first bite. The cake was scrumptious. They both wished in their minds to be human for one day.

At night, they went off to sleep. When they woke up, they found out they were humans, named Arshiya and Adhira. They had the best day of their lives. The went to a water park, they sat on a plane, they sat on a horseback ride, and they tried many different types of food. They enjoyed their full day in the water park with rides, food, and each other’s company.  Just when they were about to eat something called Crème- role, they heard Meera’s voice, “Brownie, Cocoa, wake up”. They sleepily opened their eyes and found out it had all been a dream, still, they were happy that even in a dream their wish came true.
