Title : Blue Night (Acrylic on Board by Julian Lenju)
Julian Lenju, son of Capt. Lenju Paul and Dr Jennifer Sakhya is a student of Dawn International School in Ernakulam, Kerala. He is in the sixth grade now. He likes painting and indulges in it when he visits his grandmother.
His early paintings where imitations. Being untutored, he tries to imitate what he sees. He made his first painting on a hard board when he was three years old. It is proudly displayed in his grandmother's house. He and his younger brother communicate in a language that is close to Hindi, a register the siblings created, which only they understand. Apart from painting, he is also keen on his studies and loves playing football.
A silent observer, he is fond of animals especially cats.

Can I just sit here and stare?
This familiar mind in there,
Where everything revolves in its own pace,
Where I world is a fair place.
The universe in my mind
Has more planets to define
Which holds all the answers, yet to unwind
Like an abyss of different universes combined
If sleep becomes a curse
And love something much worse
A poet without his poetic verse
And no mouths to converse
The bliss of the worldly sights
Now unknown as the eerie nights
Without the sky the aimless kites
And without the armours the brave knights
Can I be the part of every book I have read
Exclude the stories with include monsters under my bed
Can I be the warrior or the villain misread
Or can I be my own author instead?
Sometimes this mind drifts into the planets forbidden
It is better for them to remain well hidden
So many, forgotten stories this mind has written
But always, by this mind, that, I will be smitten.
I am Anura Parida, a 12-year-old creative writer currently studying in the 8th grade. Ever since I can remember, words have been my closest companions, and poetry has become my heartfelt expression.
Through my writing, I explore the tapestry of emotions that color my world – from the joy of friendship to the contemplation of life's mysteries.
Besides being a writer, I am an avid reader, devouring classics and contemporary literature alike, which helps me expand my creative horizons.
Art, in all its forms, holds a special place in my heart, and I enjoy sketching and painting to complement my poetic musings. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to sharing this beautiful world of creative writing with you all!

Juan Lenju
I am Juan Lenju, brother of Julian Lenju. I am in the fourth grade at Dawn International School. I am nine years old, kind and friendly, and looking out for adventures. I like making new friends, swimming, playing football and drawing. I sketch very fast and most of my drawings end up like cartoons. That is what my grandma says. I am happy helping others and animals and even insects. I like learning new things and even languages. I communicate in Hindi with my sibling, which only we understand. Sometimes, I create on-the-spot short stories and recite them to the amazement of my granny, who says it is spoken word poetry. My aim, now is to become a footballer. I also like to make people around me laugh and smile. I like being called Dany, which is my pet name.
