Prince of Persia and the Fall of Darkness

Prince of Persia

The story is about a boy named Nick, but everyone called him Prince. It is because his father was the king of Babylon, named Sherman. A few years ago King Sherman bought a mysterious hourglass from the ‘’Island Of Time’’. The hourglass had the power to take someone back in the chariot of time. But the person who would the hourglass must die. The key to open the hourglass was a dagger ‘’Dagger Tie’’. Once Prince opened it and traveled back through time. But after a few weeks, a priest told him that he must die, as he had opened the hourglass. Prince a brave young man told courageously that it was worthless for him to wait for death. He showed his determination to win in his fight with the Fate. However, the priest told him warning that his journey would not end well.

Then prince told first time in my life I am afraid. He started his journey to the ‘’Island of Time’’ to change the turn of his fate. He did so. On his way back home he found the city quiet different from that he had left just two weeks before. His palace was substituted by some devils who killed people. The Prince was alone in the palace. The leader of the devils named ‘’Vizier’’ who killed the empress of time and became immortal. The vizier also killed Prince’s father. When the Prince found his father lying in the dark alley he promised him that he would kill Vizier for his downing. Unfortunately there was no way out of the dark alley until someone opened the door from outside. When the Prince was trapped, a beautiful princess of India the daughter of Maharaja opened the door from outside. She started running suddenly and Prince shouted ‘Farah (her name) wait!’

The princess got a shock to hear her name. She wondered how he could know his name ? She asked Prince how he came to know his name. Prince lied to her that he had heard stories about a beautiful princess of India. Farah  had forgotten all the things because Prince had broken the hourglass and traveled back through time. After this the vizier kidnapped Farah but the prince tried his best to protect her but he did not succeed. He started following the vizier and reaching the Teresa he challenged the vizier for a fight. He defeated the vizier and freed Farah. Then the Empress of time came and took ‘Dagger Tie’, and told that his journey was near its end. Then Farah asked the same question to prince how he could know her name. In reply, prince said, “some people think that time flows in its own direction. But I have seen the face of time, come, let me tell you the story about my journey”.

A Picturesque Account of My Visit to Puri

My Parents and I are thirsty travelers .We are much fond of travelling .Being confined by the walls and roof of house is not our cup of tea. We make trips to various destination twice a year .After mu final examination was over in the mid of April this year, my parents planned a trip to Puri, one of our favorite haunts.

We took the train Puri Express from the Hawrah station at 10:20 pm on 25th April .I was very excited to reach Puri as soon as possible. We had already booked a room at the Puri Holiday Home for four days. We headed to the hotel from the Puri station. We kept the luggage in the room and took rest for some time. The sea beach was at a stone’s throw from the hotel we stayed in. I was restless to visit the beach. 

A gripping glimpse of sunrise at Puri beach

We made our way to the beach when the sun was about to set in the western sky. A cool breeze was blowing from the sea and the sun was looking a big orange. The waves were neither too violent nor too calm. I was enjoying a stroll on the beach when the waves were striking against my feet. We returned to the hotel after darkness enveloped the sky. 

The electric lampposts lit up the beach to some extent. We could see the restless waves coming and going from the balcony of our hotel room. I was waiting for the first light of the sun to kiss the earth. We left for the beach early at down to capture the beauty of the rising sun in the frames of our eyes. When the sun made its appearance just above the horizon sprinkling a handful of red and orange colors in the eastern sky, I was amused with wonder. It was a divine experience that I can’t explain in words. I sat on the balmy beach and kept on staring on the rising sun for some time. 

Gradually, morning came down. The open and breezy ambiance of the beach was soothing and refreshing. The waves were calm and the surrounding was so pleasant that it touched the depth of my heart. After having a bath in the sea and breakfast at the hotel, we left for the Sun Temple. Thus, three days passed. On the fourth day, we came back to Kolkata.
