Piku's birthday

In Pune there lived a sweet little girl named Piku. 

She was a playful little kid with beautiful black eyes,  the glitter in her eyes would bring smile on face of all She would come across. She loved to color her nails - Red, Pink & Purple. 

When She used to swing in the park the breeze of air would playfully blow through her long silky hairs tickling her; making her giggle. Seeing her laugh would bring joy in the eyes of her Mommy & Daddy.

She was 4 years old and for the last 4 months She had been waiting eagerly for her next birthday. Day-by-day She was getting closer to her 5th birthday, She used to plan daily on what She will do on her birthday, what dress She will wear and what gifts She will get.

This birthday She wanted a princess Elsa dress, her blonde hair, Peppa pig Mega blocks and a lot more gifts. She also started making friends whom She could invite on her Birthday.

Finally the day came. Unlike other days when her Mom & Dad had to bribe & lure her to wake up; today She woke up all on her own, brushed her teeth and rushed to her room where her birthday gifts were waiting for her; hidden behind the curtain. She pulled the curtain while her Mom & Dad waited at the door looking at her. Her mouth hung open in surprise to find her favorite princess Elsa dress, blonde hair & crown. She went jumping up & down and ran to hug & thank her parents.

The whole day went decorating the house & preparing food for her Birthday party. Her Mom prepared delicious Noodles, Chole bature & Kheer for her friends. While her dad decorated the house with balloons and colored papers.

Once sun went down Piku's  friends started coming in for the Birthday party and very soon the house was full with little tots. One-by-one her little friends would come forward and wish her happy birthday and Piku would say "Thanks" blushing every time. Next it was time for cake cutting. All the little eyes were glued to the Mickey mouse Birthday Cake placed nicely on a table with five candles on it. Piku blew the candles & cut the cake while the whole floor went singing "Happy Birthday to you".That was the happiest moment for Piku.

Once everyone went Home Piku couldn't resist any further but opened all the gifts one by one. There were so many of them; all in colourful wraps - Red, Pink, Yellow & Blue. She made plans for each one; arranged & stacked carefully in her room.

That night as She went to the bed She kept saying "Best day ever, Best day ever." 

Her parents kept smiling and thanking to God for everything.

Little Raja & magical letter

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Raja in the beautiful town of Ranchi in northern part of India. He was 5 years old.

Raja had lost his mother when he was only 2 years and he used to live with his father (Shyam), step mother (Usha) & 2 step brothers (Gollu & Pollu). His Father used to love him a lot but his step mother didn't like him much. She used to make little Raja do lot of work at home.

After Raja's mother died Shyam had told Raja that She had gone to God's house and that She will write letters to him from there. Every afternoon after returning from School Raja used to eagerly wait for the postman expecting him to one day get a letter for him from his mother. Seeing this his step brothers used to make fun of him which used to make him cry.

He used to get very little time with his Father since he used to work very hard day & night in order to earn food for the family. Before Shyam got married to her second wife he used to spend the evenings with little Raju. But after marriage his step mother won't let Shyam spend much time with Raju.

One day little Raja was sitting all alone with his head down crying beside a Pond. Suddenly he heard someone calling his name. When he looked above he found a fairy standing in front of him. She had come out from a lotus flower in the pond.

Raja was very surprised & scared. The beautiful fairy said "Please don't be scared. I have brought a letter for you from your loving mother". Raja jumped on his little foot, ran, hugged and thanked the fairy for the letter. After giving the letter Fairy kissed Raja on his forehead and said "May all your wishes come true" after that She disappeared.

Raja couldn't wait and hastily opened the letter. This letter was magical. As soon as he opened the letter it started talking to him. "Raju, how are you?". Raju was surprised and thrilled. He ran with the letter to show it to his Father. "Daddy Daddy I got the letter from Mom and it talks to me". The letter was still talking to Raja but only Raja could hear it. Shyam eyes were filled with tears but he didn't say anything since he didn't wanted to take away this little joy from Raja. He said "Great Raja, I had told you that your Mom will surely send you a letter".

Raja hughed his Father and then went to bed with the letter below his pillow.
