VERSE I
A tainted wine glass
Wine spilt on the rug
The door’s wide open
The room’s covered in dust
The wind blows out the only torch
Was this room always so cold and dark?

CHORUS
But I left the door open
Just in case you come in
I got your favourite tea and your favourite sweatshirt
A vinyl that you love and your favourite channel on
Even though this film is old
We can make this room home

VERSE II
Shattered mirror on the floor
Broken windows welcome the cold
Your picture frame still on the table
The bouquet of roses smells of rot
The creaking floorboard still has your mark
Was this room always so cold and dark?

CHORUS
But I left the door open
Just in case you come in
I got your favourite tea and your favourite sweatshirt
A vinyl that u love and your favourite channel on
Even though this film is old
We can make this room home

BRIDGE
A letter hiding under the bed
In a box that’s always closed
Your writing is almost negligible
But I still remember what you wrote
Said this room wasn’t cold before
But then I walked out the door
Knocking the wine off the bed
You threw a mirror at my head
You said this place was haunted now
From everything that turned us blue
No, this room wasn’t cold and dark before
But now that’s all it is to you
You said,

CHORUS
“I left the door open for you first
Thought you’d come in with a rush
I got your favourite tea, and you’re favourite sweatshirt
A vinyl that you love, and your favourite channel on
But then this room turned cold
As I waited alone.”

Song

Sadaf
Class 5
Gitanjali Vedika School
(Budding Writer attending Takhte’s Creative Writing Sessions)

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 1
Sunlight shines on morning dew,
A fresh day and a hopeful hue.
Let’s leave behind the darkness of night,
And step into the morning bright.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 2
Mistakes are made; Doubts may come up,
But let’s rise above to blow it up.
With every sunrise being a new start,
A fresh beginning with a new heart.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 3
Learn from the lesson and let go of the pain,
Make sure it doesn’t happen again and again.
It’s a fresh day, and a new hope is born,
A brighter tomorrow, in a brand-new morn.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away…

Published

on

The book titled ‘Neural Nexus: Uncovering the horrific murder of a Friend‘ authored by Stuti Manda, a student of Gitanjali Vedika School, Hyderabad, was launched on the children’s day by the principal- Mrs Sonia Nagpal.

The debutante author Stuti Manda’s achievement at such a tender age is awe-inspiring. Her exceptional storytelling skills, vivid imagination, and remarkable attention to detail are apparent in every page of ‘Neural Nexus.’ What sets this novel apart is that a 12-year-old wrote it with a gripping plot, interactive nature, and intriguing dialogue.

Stuti’s ability to captivate readers with succinct yet powerful sentences is genuinely remarkable. The variety in her sentence structure keeps the readers engrossed throughout the book. From short, punchy sentences to longer, descriptive ones that paint vivid pictures in the mind’s eye, each sentence adds depth and texture to the narrative. The grammatical choice adds a sense of immediacy and energy to the narrative, propelling the story forward and keeping readers engaged.

Another remarkable aspect of ‘Neural Nexus’ is the author’s ability to create incredibly authentic dialogues. Each character’s voice is distinct and vibrant, adding depth and realism to the story. The interactions between characters are riveting, drawing readers further into the plot. Stuti grabs the reader’s attention with each sentence and refuses to let go.

The book is available on Amazon.
