Newspaper
Newspaper is for kids to play with and have fun or experiment something new,
Paper folding is something one learns using these scraps only---right?
Newspaper is to clean the glass, the cheapest means ever,
Just sprinkle a few drops and wipe off, no chemical works that good---right?
Newspaper is to place on a shelf, under the clothes, the books and
Under all those important or unimportant things that one wants to discard but keeps--- right?
Newspaper is also seen with roadside vendors to serve
A plateful of hot ‘pakoras’ ,spicy ‘bhelpuri’ or tasty ‘kultchas’---right?
Then newspaper addiction for those who read, for it tell about the World,
And it’s not all, it also tell what’s right and what’s wrong---right?
Those who are reading are smiling I know, for Newspaper helps them in other ways too,
And now there is no fight for I know I am right.
2nd place win
