THE MAGIC OF THE RAIN

As I sit with my notebook and a cup of tea on this beautiful rainy day, I wonder what different I could say about the rain which has not been said before. Kahlil Gibrain compared the rain drops to ' silver threads of pearls fallen from the crown of Ishtar' while John Keats compared it to an ' immortal drink'.The rain is by far the most poetic phenomenon that the earth has ever seen. People talk about how it cleanses the earth; however, apart from cleansing our earth , it cleanses our souls. It cleanses us from fear , gloom and hatred. When it rains heavily, life comes to a standstill ; traffic jams, water logging and difficulties in commuting arise. This time, however is a golden period ;a period when we can introspect an retrospect. I have always loved the rains and how it magically brings everything to life and brings joy to the soul.
Stand still, enjoy this magical phenomenon , this is the time to let your heart free and enjoy the little drops collect on the trees. 🌿🌧️

MAHABHARAT - a result of impulsive actions of the female characters

Image
Mahabharata has seen ferocious female characters right from Ganga to Gandhari ; Hidimba to Ahilawati ; Kunti to Draupadi. The characters knew how to make their voice count , had numerous vardaans and some were just mystical beings. However, the Mahabharata war ( originally known as the Jaya war ) can be loosely considered a consequence of the impulsiveness of these female characters. Starting from Satyavati , the second wife of Shantanu ( the father of Bhishma Pitamah) - Satyavati was a daughter of a fishermen. Although , she loved Shantanu she was insecure about the future of her children ( who hadn't taken birth till now). She wanted her sons to sit on the throne but this desire of hers was threatened by Bhishma or Devratt , as he was known in his earlier days. To save his father's love and to make her step mother feel secure , Devratt vowed to stay a slave to the throne of Hastinapur , never become the king and observe celibacy. Though, Satyavati was sat

7 years of YJHD

Image
Yeh Jawani hai deewani or YJHD is the "dil chahta hai " for 2000s kids.  Jaise kabhi Goa ka plan successful nhi hua , waise hi Manali ka bhi nhi hoega. Plus , yeh coronaaaaa. When Bunny said ,  "Mai udna chahta hu , daudna chahta hu , girna bhi chahta hun bas rukna nhi chahta." Accept it or not we all felt that. We have all had that crazy gang - the nerd, the vagabond , the guy who is ALWAYS up for fun and the crazy tomboyish sii ladki and at the end of the day that's all we got. That's all we will take away with us - MEMORIES. And when Naina said - " Yadein mithai ki dabbe ki tarah hoti hai , ek baar khula toh sirf ek tukda nhi kha paoge."  She is right.  Memories hi toh hoti hai that keep us going. The happiness we get after opening an old album , going through those moments again is amazing. Plus , kahin pahuchne ke liye kahi se nikalna toh padhega. One fine ( or maybe not so fine day) we will leave our school friends be

90 days that changed my life - part 2

Image
Now I had my new hostel room and new roommates and it was time to make that room  our "home". Home , I believe is never about the place or even the family members , it's about the vibe. It's about the place where you choose to be comfortable and happy; it is not about living with the best or the most caring people or the  but about choosing to accommodate and taking care of even the evil ones. So, for me home has always been in the feeling and it was time to make room no. 16 my home. I started the process by giving an artistic touch to the walls. "Some more polaroids can be added in the room." I thought. So I came up with the idea of hanging some pictures by tying a thread on the legs of my bunk bed. Meanwhile , we were involved in several other activities; making new friends being the most important one among them. Some connections were forced , others happened organically. Jam sessions became the best part of my d
