From one metro station to another

Image
My metro card lies in one corner of my messy almirah , it hasn't travelled for days. I definitely miss the frequent trips to Nehru Place , McDonald's and dilli ke momos and random trips around the city with my college friends.  Now , we have been quarantined for so long that mental health is not even a thing anymore. Desperately waiting for everything to be normal again. Check out my YouTube Channel-  https://youtu.be/KcQIg33h4wE

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.

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
