Beauty of andaman and Nicobar islands

Havelock Island



A majestic lighthouse greeted us on our arrival at the Havelock Island. We felt as if the sandy beaches and greenish-blue sea were warmly welcoming us.
Some foreign tourists on the beaches were basking in the sun and enjoying themselves. We saw tourists enjoying swimming in the sea, and riding on elephants. Silky sands, foaming tides and cool breeze of the sea attracted us very much. We took lots of pictures of the beautiful scenery.

Scuba diving



We visited the beach called Elephant beach. To our amazement, we saw some swimmers diving into the sea from the motor boats. They were dressed in a different way. They put masks on their faces and carried air cylinders on their backs.
I asked Dad "Why are the swimmers diving into the sea?"
Dad replied, "They want to watch the coral reefs and beautiful coloured fishes and sea turtles. They stay for a long time beneath the sea and swim along with them.It is called Scuba diving" The Scuba diving filled my heart with a spirit of adventure. I wished I could do it.

Elephant ride on the beach



Lastly, we visited Radhanagar beach.. It was a beautiful place with white sand and thick green forests along the coastline. We saw a man riding an elephant. He offered rides on payment. My sister Amala and I enjoyed a jolly ride on the elephant. We tasted delicious Tandoori fish and other seafoods on the island. My mouth still waters when I remember those
moments. I cherish the memory of the great fun we had. I'll never forget my trip to Andaman.

The Magic of Silk

 This is a story from China. A long, long time ago, there lived an old woman in a hut in the forest. Her husband had been killed by a tiger some years ago. She was old and weak. Life was difficult for her and her daughter, Siew Mei. Siew Mei did all the cooking and cleaning herself. She also looked after the silkworms in their garden. The worms gave them fine thread to make beautiful silk. Siew Mei sold the silk to travellers in the village market. In this way she got enough money to buy food and other things. One day as Siew Mei was returning home, it started to rain heavily. It was getting dark, too. Siew Mei ran into the first hut she saw. The door was open and there was no one inside. "Is anybody in?" she called loudly, again and again. But there was no reply. Siew Mei looked around the hut. The floor was very dirty. Bowls and pots were left unwashed, Siew Mei swept the floor and washed all the bowls and pots. By the time she had finished , the hut was as clean as a new o

Trip to Andaman

  We had been longing to make a trip to Andaman; and Dad made it possible for us during the last summer holidays. Soon after the examinations were over, Mom made preparations for the trip. On the 25th of April, we took the Pinakini Express from Vijayawada and reached Chennai Central by 1 p.m. After lunch we hired a taxi for the port. In the evening we boarded a ship for Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The ship looked much bigger than our school building. It had four storeys. It set out after sounding a loud horn. People who had come to see off their friends and relatives cheered them up by waving their hands. My sister Amala and I too waved your hands while Mom and Dad smiled at us. Tall buildings towers and factory chimneys began to vanish gradually. After while, the twinkling lights of Chennai bade us farewell. Soon everything around us begans look dark and calm but inside the ship it was all bright and beautiful. When we closed the windows and doors of ou
