THE SPARK / NO. 28 / 18th MARCH 2024

 Busy Days..

    Dear readers, the past two or three days have been really hectic for me and all of a sudden I was reminded of this poem of mine. Hope you enjoy it.



1.    The Spark

Busier are the days,

When you know not-

Where life’s taking you-

Into the randomness of the core.

Do I just go with the flow,

Uninterrupted and desolate?

Or do I pause and think?

About the uncertainties,

Or the highs and lows?

As aimless as it seems,

The unlit path – dim and drab,

I’m trying to find my light.

I search my way,

Through the emptiness of the room.

Little did I know,

The spark of light,

That could let the flame ablaze,

Is found nowhere but in me.

 THE MISUNDERSTOOD CONCEPT OF FEMINISM The concept of feminism is misunderstood most of the times. Its a simple ideology and its just that we often fail to understand it perfectly. We always complicate simple things in life. So let's see what feminism actually is.  FEMINISM:                        It is nothing but EQUALITY. Every individual in the society must be considered equal which often is not. Feminism strives to empower women and in doing so it also makes them realize their rights. It is mostly misunderstood that women are trying to overpower men. The point is not that. Be it a male or a female, both the genders are no less than the other.                         The other day I was scrolling through my social media and something caught my eye. That is when I decided to write this blog. I understood that there were different opinions on this...

FRIENDS LIKE FAMILY / NO. 19 / 9th MARCH 2024

Bestfriend...      Dear readers,  the other day I requested suggestions on what people would like to read in my next blogs in an Instagram story that I uploaded. I'll be writing about the subjects that each person suggested for the next few days. My bestfriend Jelshiya asked me to talk about my bestfriend (basically about her).       We've known each other for five years and have been best friends for three years. In our first year as undergrads, we got to know one another. Our interests were very similar, and there was an instant connection. Being my best friend means that you must be able to relate to me in all of my phases, even when I don't say anything. To me, she is that person. She doesn't really need any explanation from me. She'll know everything about me just looking at my face.      Being friends demands more than just being there when things are going great. Providing support is essential when everything seems to be...

MONKEY BARS/ C.S. LEWIS/ NO.1/ FEBRUARY 20th 2024

  Monkey Bars          Hey readers, its been a while and I hope you all are doing good.  It's wonderful to be back and to pen down the ideas that I usually keep to myself.  A few days ago, while I was randomly exploring the internet, I stumbled upon this incredible quote by C.S. Lewis that reads,           “ Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.”     Although the quote is straightforward and easy to understand, what an analogy it is! We often claim that life is not a bed of roses, but how much do we truly understand the effects these difficult situations have on us? Most of the time, we don't.  When we experience anything unpleasant, we often find it difficult to let go of it. We keep going back to the same experiences to keep them fresh in our memories, whether they are related to relationships, health i...
