Morning tales of winter
The morning Sun stood aloft, Waving it's dew-bespangled wings; With vermile cheek and whisper soft, Wooing the tardy winter morn'.

hey folks, I'm Apurva, And I just want to say that, I don’t know what’s happening in your life. I don’t know, whether everything’s all right or not. I don’t know when things will get back right. But what I know is that help is just a call away. These times can be stressful and depressing, But don’t let yourself perish in them. Know that it's you who controls yourself. Don't let what others say trap you. Remember, You can only make sense of what happened by looking back and connecting the dots. Believe in yourself and You'll be alright! For, Paul kalanithi once reminded us, “You that seek what...
There was once a boy who hailed from a small, ramshackle village in the northern farming fields of Punjab. There, wooden plank playing card walls stood atop mustard greens and stalks of wheat, urban civilization a distant concept. The people of the village squatted aside hissing firepits, tossing backyard sabzis in smoking kadais with one hand, and pacifying wailing babies and restless children with the other. Their musty skin was traced with lines that told stories of toil; hours of labor and days without food. Village life was the epitome of nakedness, stripped down to the simplicities of...
"Things change when you get yourself upgraded to college" Upgraded to College. Yes upgraded, because I never really understood what that term truly meant. I got myself upgraded to college, but never got the actual feel of college. A few days ago, I went to my nani's place and this is the first conversation she started with me: "Does mumma give you homemade lunch for school?" "Yes nani, she gives me lunch and that too is homemade", I blurted out with a smile on my face. "That is fine. I thought you started eating all that nonsense street food, all those aloo chats and fried unhealthy stuff...
Well, as the year 2020 was beyond disastrous for humankind, hence I thought, I should read a book that is solely based on humanity, luck, life, and the right lessons. So, I went to the bookstore on December 29, and bought the paperback edition of “The Last Lecture”, written by Randy Pausch. Pausch was a professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, and being a sufferer of pancreatic cancer, he was given countable days to live. So, he decided to deliver his ‘last lecture’ on September 18, 2007. Sadly, in July 2008, he left all his students, colleagues, and all humans with some...
Things definitely become complicated at some point or another. Take it from a scientist, a mother, a teenager, a consultant or anyone whom you can think of. Dandelion thoughts and questions ponder my mind and yet most of them never reach their final destination, the destination that they long for. But then I guess we are the ones who actually stop ourselves and our thoughts to reach a particular end. Once I was contemplating on some random question that prevailed in my mind for so long that at one point, it started irritating me. Irritating me because I was not able to reach a conclusion. It...
You're the poetry I go back to when I feel mine slipping away You're the humour I seek when I can't find my joy You're the paintings I turn to when the world goes black You're the song I live my life in You rhyme my emotions better than I can myself You're the dance I duet with Your beats resonate with my heart beat You decide my frequency I travel the world with your pictures As you capture beauty as it lies And create it just as easily Raw and beautiful How can you make the sunrise more beautiful everyday It's something beyond just the lens Keep your secrets then It's an art itself To every...
You're made of stardust You're a walking billion chemical reactions You're a living soul, heart and conscience So when you tell me, you're just not capable Know I won't believe you So take the mic, the world will hear Be yourself and nothing less Take the dive And see just how high you soar When you leave the ground It terrifies you? Good, it should For if you never fail And a straight line, is all that the graph of your life is Good luck proving you lived at all So fail, dust yourself off, get off the ground And fail and fall again And again Till you're so goddamn strong Till the dust is a...
I ask myself every day whether I am worthy of this at all? should I be sorry for the world cause the answer's always no I calm myself every day that today's going to be different for sure should I call myself crazy cause this is not true at all there's so much out there to do but there's no strength in me for that I try, don't try, don't try, don't try cause I don't know where is my heart, my heart lives in a beautiful place where no one can go at all the place where only I can live the fantasies of my life no instructions no questions no expectations no pleadings no scoldings just my dreams...
Have you ever caught your mind aimlessly wandering away in the middle of a conversation? Do you ever feel the need to excuse yourself from a social gathering for no apparent reason? More often than not, do you find yourself constantly being prodded with the question 'Why do you look so lost?' I can positively say that I've found myself grappling with the above situations for as long as I can remember. My friends often tell me that I have an uncanny ability to tune out of conversations very frequently. The number of times I've had to explain why I suddenly get quiet or choose not to participate...
Defining beauty is not easy in today's age. Early days were much simple but still it was difficult to live up to the beauty expectations. Lets flashback to the beauty during the Victorian era where the Mammy was made to pull the corset of the Lady to an extent that the lady's spinal cord shrinks and touches the walls of her back. Ahh so that is where the trend of the hour glass figure began Not to forget the layers of flared gowns and large crinolines, protruding bustles and heavily boned corsets which often did restrict movement. Pale face, rosy cheeks, and big dark eyes. Let us not forget...
To all the Potterheads out there, this is a special article which will tell you what the Half-Blood Prince, a character from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series, taught us, and how he left a mark on our lives. Firstly, Professor Severus Snape taught us that life isn't fair. He taught us that in life, we may hope for something to happen, but it may not happen the way we want it. And so, we must not make a big deal about how life is not being fair and we must just accept that everything happens for a reason. Secondly, Snape taught us that in order to get better results in anything we do, we all...
Everyone has been through a lot in their life, well as it is said that nothing comes easy. We have faced different trials and tribulations which have crossed it with our brave hearts. There is no rainbow without a rain, there is a light to the end of tunnel. To reach that light we have to take a walk down the dark tunnel. It is said at the end of the rainbow there is a pot of gold now to reach that pot you have to take a journey and follow the VIBGYOR. Some experiences in life have brought unexpected huddles and we have sank due to it. But that is only a phase or maybe you can say a...

I have chosen you to choose how life has to be after the COVID-19 pandemic it is your choice CHOOSE WISELY.......”and fade away leaving a path which further...
It is not easy to healing. While everyone is trying to chase their dreams and at the same time, you are fighting with yourself. It's not easy to find happiness in the darkness. When every single thing seems useless, life became unreasonable. It's hard to get your soul back when your mind put a war against your heart but you can defeat it As I did. Yes, it seems hard but not impossible. All you have to do is to believe in yourself, there's only you who can help you. It's ok if no one listens but you listen to your inner voice. Don't let your mind fool your heart. So get up, you are strong...
UN-Secretary General, Antonio Guterres feels "Humanity is 'Waging War' on Nature" regarding current climate and environmental trends. According to the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), climate change does not directly give rise to a conflict but has a major impact in the escalation of a conflict. The United Nations Guidance for Effective Mediation describes mediation as a voluntary process “whereby a third party assists two or more parties, with their consent, to prevent, manage or resolve a conflict by helping them to develop mutually acceptable agreements”. There...
Every morning for weeks and days; A girl stood by its soaring waves. Her feet covered in sand and water, Her mind lost in the thought of her father. Her whole soul was silent as a grave, Yet her mind was not that much brave. She stood there and mumbled some words, And also tried to talk to the birds. She surely might had been a peaceful one, But now she was angry at someone. Many a times she stepped back, And tried to scold the water and sand. Yet I was not able to see, The cause of her pain and her agony. Until one day she spoke out loud, To the waves that always went in and out. “NO MATTER...
“The Ladakh region is a natural carbon sink and making it carbon neutral paves the way for many other regions in India to embark on this carbon neutrality journey. It will be now interesting to see how this announcement is operationalized and replicated in other parts of the country. It will also be intriguing to see how large businesses will respond to this call”: Narendra Damodardas Modi (Honorable Prime Minister of India). Even though there is no well-settled goal of becoming a carbon-neutral country in India but Ladakh is becoming one of the cleanest regions in South Asia with a carbon...
It's a hard pill to accept a lot of things in life while growing up. To accept who I am, the way I am, the way I look, my flaws, others with their flaws, a lot of mistakes that I made unknowingly and knowingly, failures. Life is not a piece of cake even if you have all the materialistic things; everyone suffers. I too had a hard time figuring out a lot of things, I was so devasted, felt all alone, because of the pressure I felt hollow from inside. I didn't enjoy involving with people, I wanted to stay at home; closed inside a room. When my friend introduced me to BTS, I laughed at their jokes...
