Book Review
A man called Ove
- by Fredrick Backman
An emotionally charged drama! Ove’s life is detailed both past and present. Ove has
specific ways that he likes to do things, and his way is the only ‘correct’ way. He does not
like most people, and he wants nothing more than to end his life. It is not until a pregnant
woman, with two kids, and a useless husband (Ove’s opinion not mine) move in next door
that his heart begins to open once again. I really liked the book, and I had so many
emotions while reading this. I would laugh, cry, get angry, then repeat the cycle all over
again. I both loved, and disliked his character at the same time. I struggled with this at
first, but in the end, I think it was my dislike of some of Ove’s character traits that made
me love him more. I liked the writing style, and the different timelines of Ove’s life that
were covered. I especially liked reading about Ove’s past, his life as a little boy with his
father, and then later as a teenager. I did feel that the story was a bit slow at times, but I
only felt this when the story was focused on present day. Overall the book is well written,
2
and the story of Ove’s life is beautifully shared with the reader.

Diwali
What is the first thing come in your mind about Diwali? Lights, fireworks, crackers,
decoration, sweets, paintings, and what not. It is an occasion when all family members
come together to celebrate the Diwali night.
Diwali is the biggest festival of Hindus which is celebrated with joy and harmony not only
in India but across the globe. Especially, the kids look forward to this festival since they
get to burst their favourite crackers and eat whatever they wish. The festival of Diwali
takes place in October or November every year. It is celebrated exactly 20 days after
Vijaydashmi.
Spirituality, it is significant to us because it represents victory of good over evil. While
celebrating this day people try to follow several rituals. Few of these are decorating the
houses with candles and diyas and worshipping Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi.
On this day, Lord Rama returns to Ayodhya with Mata Sita and brother Lakshman after 14
years exile. To celebrate this occasion people of Ayodhya lit up diyas and decorated their
houses. The whole Ayodhya was decorated with beautiful lights and colourful rangolis.
People distributed sweets among themselves as well. On this day according to puranas
Goddess Lakshmi took birth on the day of kartik month.

Poem
WE BEGIN OUR DAY
RING !!!! The bell rings for assembly ,
Out the children run in line ,
Shouts and murmurs make corridor alight
Down on the ground the band begins in time
A melodious rhythm is played by band in a line
Soon all the students are in the ground
With there legs beating with the drum's sound
There the head gives a command aloud
And all hands are joined and the sky with cloud
But as soon as the national anthem is sung
Every head is held up in pride

Winterline - An unique phenomena
A winterline is an atmospheric phenomenon. It is a second horizon that develops under
special conditions during an inversion when warm air is trapped beneath cold air.
Winterlines don't occur very often or in very many places in the world.
It is very prominent and visible from Mussoorie in India between October and February,
and the local Mussoorie Winterline Carnival is named after the phenomenon. Apart from
7
India, winterline occurs in the Swiss Alps.
