Dear Diary,
Today is my fourth day at relief camp. Life here is very tough. We had to leave our home as water reached
the first floor. Thank God! We are safe but life is far from normal. The army jawans are doing their best to
provide assistance, but it is not enough. There is shortage of food, clean drinking water, medicines and warm
clothes. While living within the comfort of my house I had never realised that life could be such a pain. My
sister has fever since the past 2 days. She has received no medical attention up till now.
I pray to God that this phase gets over soon and we are able to return back home. I don’t want to live in this
hell anymore.

Dear Diary,
Today, I joined my new school. It was a very nice and exciting. My class teacher was very nice to me. She
introduced me to the entire class. I sat with Neha, the monitor of the class. She helped me in every way
possible. She gave me her notebooks, shared her lunch with me. She even helped me with my classwork. The
best thing I liked about the school was the library. It was big and spacious. I am a passionate reader and I
found many books of my favourite authors. The computer lab was well equipped with the latest models of
computers. I look forward to going to school tomorrow. Now, I am not missing my old friends and my old
school. Now, I am going to sleep as I have to get up early in the morning to get ready for school.

Dear Diary,
Today, I visited an old age home. I was surprised to see the condition of the old people there. Even though
the medical facilities and food were good, it was disheartening to see that most of them were under
depression. Their children had abandoned them. Some had forcefully kicked them out of the house. So now,
they have nowhere to go.
When I talked to them, my heart was filled with sympathy for them. What could I do to make them happy? I
told them some jokes and riddles, but they seemed to be unmoved by the humour. I spent some time with
