My Pet Gogo

Vedanshi Ranakoti


Corona virus has tested our patience badly. So, when we grew bored and tired at home. In February 2021, we decided to adopt a pet. It was difficult choosing one. We took suggestions from our friends and they all suggested that we should adopt a rabbit. So, we did. To start with, if you want a pet who is not so difficult to handle, I will say it’s a rabbit. We bought a male, which are also called “buck”. We named him Gogo.


There were a few things I noticed about him like we do not need to bathe it; it does its cleaning on its own. The cutest part comes when Gogo grabs his ears and brings them down across his face. You are actually watching its ears being washed. Sometimes, he makes enthusiastic leaps in the air where he twists and turns and kicks and jumps in mid-air. This is called “binky” -- rabbits perform it when they are happy.

When anyone says the word “rabbit”, the first thing that comes to our mind is a rabbit eating a carrot. Well! guess what? Gogo does not eat carrots at all!. Gogo’s main food is green leaves. He eats so much green leaves that he ate all the plants in our garden! I got to know a lot of things I never knew about rabbits. Gogo drinks very little water; his body extracts fluid from all the vegetables and fruits he eats. All animals make some or the other sound, but the rabbit comes in the category which make no sound at all. As his fur is very soft, my brother chases him in the house to touch his fur (he is very scared of my brother) but Gogo is very fast so, very difficult to catch.

As they say, exercise is good for everyone when Gogo comes out, he always stretches. Along with fun comes responsibilities. His grooming needs to be done that is trimming his nails, hair etc., giving him food, his excretions need to be cleaned and so on. Now that my brother and I have a lot of work to do, we do not feel bored anymore. I think adopting a pet was the best decision we made!

The role of friends in life

-
Rishabh Ranjan As we all know, friends are people who like to spend time with you, chat with you, and have fun. But, sometimes we just want to listen to ourselves and not to our friends. This results in arguments and many fights. We all need to know how important they are in life. Fight for you. Friends always hate when someone says bad things about you or hurts you. You also hate it when something happens to your friends. We all value our friends. Respect you. A true friend always lets you share your thoughts. They always want to know if you are well. They always like to play with you, whether it be sports on a sunny day or video on a rainy day. Ideal situation or bad, always stay together. We know that the current situation is a time of unity. Only real friends would like to still give you as much as they used to give. Enjoy their time with you. All friends have fun with you. They can relate to you, help you and love it! New friends or old, they treat you the same. A lot of peopl...

Vigyan Chakrabarti Interview with Jayshree dadi  What job did you do and why did you choose it? I had already taught my own children and I shifted to kindergarten teaching because I loved it What kind of relation did you have with your students and how did you deal with difficulty with concepts and exams? I used to teach LKG and since the children were just leaving the security of there parents I had to make them feel comfortable. Just because they were LKG children I could not take them lightly and that's why I used to go completely prepared about what concepts I was going to teach and what activities I wanted to conduct. Since they were small children it was difficult to get there attention therefore I had to dramatize the concepts as much as possible. We had been given a special training for that. Did you have any idea about what job you were going to do and did you have any childish thoughts about what job you were going to do? I was a housewife and I took up teaching because m...
