My Social studies project

Today our (though completely mine) Sst project was presented on the 3 day exhibition. Our project was titled 'Resources of India'. I traced out the map of India and its neighbors. Painted it with different colors to represent different soils in it. Then sketched few major rivers and redrew on them with a blue ceramic cone.
Fixed green color painted thermocol balls and pierced them with toothpicks. Stuck them on, thus marking out the main forest areas. Put multicolor thermocol balls on the map to represent different mineral reserves. Lastly, marked out the oil reserves and major mountain peaks.
It is on display in the senior hall of St Xavier's main building (worthless fact). It hasn't been judged yet, but when it will be than I will do all the explaining.
Will upload a picture of it.

A Colossal Fossil

Before starting the story. I'd like to apologize to those who were expecting me to finish the Jungle Dweller series. All this time I was a bit lethargic and not feeling like typing much. But I got this brilliant story and couldn't wait to get started on it. The starting would be very embarrassing had it been told in direct speech ( for me), so this story is typed in indirect form of the sentence.

PS: This story is highly imaginative and should not be in any ways considered a real life scenario. Also, the walnut idea was copied from a movie.

It was the day when he was supposed to go to his school during the evening, it was his school's cultural meet. All students and their parents were supposed to report ( OK, attendance wasn't compulsory ) at the school assembly ground. It was probably the most renowned event of his school.

He could stand it any more. He couldn't tolerate the pressure building up in......well......his stomach. All this time he had been waiting for it to pass out but unfortunately it didn't. He ran up till the toilet. He thought that he would have to hurry as it was about time the event ended. It made him feel worse and he rather aggravated the situation. It took him more than half an hour. Later, he started hearing screams from the ground but his current position wouldn't allow him to even peep out of the window.

He stepped out of the lavatory to find the grounds empty. He stood there, puzzled. It wasn't the closing time yet. But the thing in front of him explained everything. Before him stood a large Tyrannosaurus Rex tearing the podium apart, and man, it looked pretty hungry. At first he stared at it, then assessing the gravity of the situation, He ran to the closest building. He entered the last classroom of that corridor, thinking that the Rex would be smart enough to figure that the prey would be hiding in the first and nearest one. The Rex rather continued on till it reached the end of the corridor and started sniffing at his hiding place's door. He thought of a quick method of diversion. He took off his backpack and threw it far out from the door. He hoped that the Rex would try to follow it. He heard its footsteps slowly fade away. Haha, he thought, that was one dumb Rex. 

All of the sudden the booming sound of large footsteps were heard. The Rex was much smarter, it realized the source and was literally planning to charge through the class wall. He felt surprised, he had heard the Rex's had brains the size of walnuts.

The Rex poked it head through the door and practically grinned. He ran out of the other door and suddenly fell. He looked back to find that he had tripped over a chair sized walnut. Man that was disturbing. Getting back to his senses, he ran to the main gate and started yelling for help. He was able to find a mighty crowd out there. They all gathered up around him and started interviewing him. The spotlight on him was so intense that he fainted.

He woke up to find a blurry Rex on him. His vision improved. It wasn't the Rex, it was his nuisance of a sister, waking him from his terrifying dream, saying that he was to take a bath or get spanked by Mom.
