I thought I’ll consult my dad about choosing a suitable topic for my elocution competition.   He looked at the list and said, “Mihika, you should speak on the subject that you are an expert on and therefore the only topic for you is the one about being lazy” Good Afternoon, friends! I am Mihika Menghrajani from IV A and my topic today is GADGETS ARE MAKING US LAZY. I think I heard some people in the audience laugh, well just to set the record straight. My father did not mean that I was good at being lazy. It is just that he feels women are better with gadgets, maybe because mom gets to keep all the remote controls with her.

I Mihika Menghrajani pledge to keep my city clean. I will always throw garbage in a dustbin. I will carry in litter in my bag until I find a dustbin. I will not spit in public places. I will not throw plastic in water bodies and gutters. I will stop others from littering and spitting in public places, and I will encourage my friends and my family to do the same.

My fluffy brown puppy is called JACKKY. He is quite intelligent, sometimes though, he behaves a little stupid. Janki aunty and Jairam uncle are our neighbors.   They have a son called Jaikishen. My neighbors loving call their son “JACKKY”! Now, that’s really stupid!! When Janki aunty calls her son, JACKKY my stupid dog perks up his ears. “JACKKY, open the door” “JACKKY, go to your room” “JACKKY, take a bath” “JACKKY, stop that” “JACKKY, don’t do this” “JACKKY, don’t touch the vase” It is my stupid, silly pup who ends up rushing in and out of the house thinking Janki aunty is talking to him. Once I scolded JACKKY, “You stupid dumb dog! Stop your silly actions”… Guess who went and complained to his mother??? Jaikishen the stupid kid was playing in the corridor.
