An Old Diary
Sample Object Writing- Anav Kumar (Grade-8)
“The old diary lay quietly in the drawer beneath a layer of dust. Its brown cover was cracked, and the edges of its pages had turned yellow with age. When I opened it, a faint smell of old paper rose into the air, carrying memories from another time.
Each page held carefully written thoughts, dreams, and forgotten moments. Some pages were stained with tears, while others seemed filled with excitement. As I turned the pages, it felt as though I was walking through someone’s life one memory at a time. The diary was not merely a book; it was a time machine made of paper and ink.”
