The Second Home ❤

Life isn't complex here Neither simple, Call it "complicated" unsure of what befalls next Insecure about losing the best Still you live in royal with a spirit in heart engraved out of tears, hardship and strife a bondage grown from this life is the whole sum left forever! ( a small poem dedicated to all my hostel inmates. Only they could feel it in a way I really meant )

The Animal Thing

Most of us are fascinated about the daily political affairs. On this hectic life many of us manages to skim through the headings that makes a day for reporters. I have been never interested into politics so far. More than being a voter without proper political analysis or judgement, I always felt this politics thing is for middle aged or elder citizens of the society. they judge and comment, though not always true, at least they have a say on who should be elected to power in the next election.It's very interesting  to note that there are several books on politics and historic political revolutions that can bring into new horizons on political awareness but left untouched in libraries. George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is a political allegory that can explain politics in a lucid and sarcastic style without distorting the reality. It starts with the revolutions as led by animals against the exploitation by human beings on their God given natural wealth showing a simili...

Life is what you make it

Life is what you make it: a novel by Preeti Shenoy Preeti Shenoy have always wondered me. She has an excellent talent of story telling with her deep observations and simple way of narration. 'Life is what you make it' is her second book after '34 bubblegums and candies'. I had heard girls saying about Durjoy Datta (romance fiction writer) He knows what rings in a girl's head. I would confidently say Preeti Shenoy knows what rings in a boy's head. Her works reveal her in-depth understanding of male psychology. The novel is a story of love, hope and determination. Story teller is Ankita and she lives in a very conservative family where boys are not allowed to call or visit her.  But she manages to keep in touch with her best friend Vaibhav who has got admission in IITD through letters and sometimes through telephone without falling into notice of her parents. She gets new friends as she gets into St.Agnes. Cochin  where she adores the position of arts secretary ...

Being Special in ‘Her’ eyes !

(this is a work of fiction. Characters, incidents are either the product of author's imagination or are used fictitiously and any resemblance to any actual person, living or dead, events or locale are entirely coincidental) I was participating for the poem writing competition in our university arts fest two months ago. An air conditioned room was arranged for the writing competitions and I got inside. There was none there, so I was a little bit worried about whether I had been wrong about the stage number. But after a few seconds a girl came inside. She had worn a blue jeans and a white T-shirt, she looked like western born. And she looked almost of age nineteen or twenty. It was my first time I was participating a university level poem writing. I was supposed to compete with almost forty colleges under the university. So there was no meaning to assess, whether the counterparts were western born or not. She took a seat very distant from me in that big hall. But I could noti...

A smile from heart.

No relegion will discourage charity and the money spent for people in need is always noble in sight of any religious scriptures. We could see numerous people in short of basic needs like clothing, shelter, even some one to care them in their old age. What can we do by just feeling pity to them, we always count our shortcomings, how would it be if we are into providing the help for the needy, it would be more beautiful and promising than ruminating on our own unreasonable thoughts of helplessnes. Whatever we might have, spent for the needy, if we don't have anything to spent just a smiling face will do the difference for the people who are in need of love and care. Prophet Muhammed told "even a smiling face that you show to other people is like you spent in charity". It brings people's mind together and the thought of helplessnes is vanished by the soothing power of smile that arise from our hearts. #let's help #let's smile from heart.

Nadira has something to tell you.a story tore from her Memmories. On the eve of Nadira's uncle and aunt's tenth wedding anniversary, her sweet aunt updated her status on Facebook, it compliments her sweetest uncle. "Since the day of our wedding, he has been my father, savior, caretaker,best friend and lover, I wish I shall live to eternity, to be aside of him always.

Nadira's excitement toppled to dust, when she saw her mom was smiling and her eye nooks were clouded with tears. Silence dominated the air between them. She remembered she had read somewhere. " Silence knows what does it meant. Like a cloud knows why it is turning dark and heavy. " Her father went abroad when she was just a...

Tortoise vs Rabbit! Actually who wins?

Have you thought at any point of your life, the story of rabbit and tortoise has any real life implications? More than a story that conveys the message "hardship and perseverance lead to success", what will it convey if the rabbit wins the race? , if the rabbit didn't thought to relax for a while, what if the rabbit thought to relax after the finishing point? All these insane doubts came to me when I came across the concept of slow and fast paced learners, especially in psychology texts. Slow paced learners are the ones who take a long time to grasp a concept or new skill. Usually slow paced learners find it difficult to learn a huge amount of information within a short span of time. While the fast paced learners are the ones who are capable of learning a huge amount of information within a short span of time. They are blessed with higher fluid intelligence and short term memory. The slow paced learners also finds difficulties in memory retention which shows a lower f...
