Waste to Wonder theme park

 

We are long aware of the seven wonders of the world, as we have been taught about them since childhood. It feels different from what we read in books and how it actually looks in reality. It would hit differently when we witness with our eyes. Before witnessing the real wonders it would be amazing to witness the representation first.


This theme park is called "Waste to Wonder" and has a representation of all the wonders of the world made with waste materials, mostly metals and other spare parts. It's amazing how real it looks if not for the metals being used. It's a great place for children as they feel excited about identifying what they saw and knew only from books.


The theme park also has models of different types of dinosaurs, which we are very much known from books and movies. There were recorded sounds being played which felt as if it were the dinosaurs' growls. There also was a representation of two dinosaurs fighting, causing destruction through the portrayal of damaged cars.


The entire walk inside the theme park feels like a mini forest where there are different dinosaurs in the territory, whether land or water is present. The end of the walk leads to a huge dinosaur which has a slide attached to its tail where children can slide from its belly till the end of its tail. It was a fun walk to refresh our knowledge.

Sports day

Sports day is always athletic, but it only starts at the venue, but for me, it started from the bus stand. It was a foggy winter morning, so I thought the whole day might be dull, but thankfully the sun shone brighter than most days. As I left home at a slow pace, I did not expect to run for the bus.

After running after the bus, it took me quite a while to calm down, but still, all's well that ends well. The event started by 11 am and carried on till 3:30 pm. We had a march past followed by the pledge to begin the event.

We began with the 100m race, and it was tough. It's been years since I ran on a track, so it felt so unfamiliar. We also had games like kabbadi, relay, three-legged race, lemon and spoon race, etc. It was fun, and time passed by quickly.

As the day came to an end, none of us could feel our legs. It was a fun and tiring day. We all sat in a circle basking in the sun in the winter afternoon chatting and relaxing. A fun sports day bringing the child hidden somewhere within jumping and running around the ground.
