A Boon in Disguise
Steering back to the nostalgic lane of the past, one punch line from a famous advertisement would often strike me. The line is ‘Everything is possible in Orion Kitchenette’.
During my childhood, I would often contemplate what all things were possible other than cooking in an oven. Despite a lot of head scratching, I floundered attempting to come to a factual solution.
With age and maturity, this punchline has unfurled into deeper meaning to make me realize that nothing is impossible. With the right kind of attitude, you can do anything you want. It’s all about choosing to be positive instead of being negative about things.
This lockdown period which seems to disappoint us by the repeated extension of deadline, can be an opportune period for us to become our best version. If we have the desire to soar high like an eagle, this period can be a boundless inception.
Time which waits for none has extended his hand patiently for us to mend and redesign subdued relationships. Generate energy to your hidden talents as the moment which has blessed you with a chance for optimum utilization may not come again.
There is no rush. A pristine and tranquil atmosphere has been sketched for us by our OMNISCIENT PAINTER to think beyond, to create out of the box and to accomplish the insurmountable.
Nature has already launched us into the race for perfection. The ball is in our court now. Let’s start our race with an honest will and work rigorously to learn new things every day. Remember, neither to surrender nor to use alternative route. Let’s learn everything from everyone and make this lockdown period a synonym for SELF-EXPLORATION, SELF-REFORMATION and SELF- EMBELLISHMENT.
The Scent of Roses
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. So have a positive perspective and spread the scent of rose!
Why I Want to be a Unicorn?
There’s one thing I wanted to be from the age I was 7 and that is a Unicorn! Here’s a poem telling why I want to be a Unicorn:
I want to be a unicorn,
because it’s a magical creature.
I’d love to be a unicorn,
to show all the colours of nature!
I want to be a unicorn,
to fly above the sky.
I’m crazy for unicorns,
as I want to see what’s it to be up high!
I want to be a unicorn,
to show that they are real.
I’d love to be a unicorn,
to make believe they are here!
One in a Million Smiles
The Light Spring Rain
I like the smell of dear earth,
And how the light spring rain carries in it
Upon the singing notes of the mynah
And behold heaven in a minute!
How cyclists swish through muddy grounds
How horses clip-clop, clip-clop to several rounds
How sparrows kiss the blest skies, and…
A finer class of humans; with their Buddha smiles
Who like the kindful rains, free the world of lies,
Who make lovely magic go on for miles
And these who bask in golden Sun
Are why heaven on Earth has begun!
Are why heaven on Earth has begun!
Night Time
The best time of the day,
Is the night time, sweet.
Oh! how I love night time,
During that time strange people I meet!
I meet a fairy and a gnome,
I meet wealthy kings with their knights.
I love to explore exciting worlds,
And all this happens during the nights!!
You might have guessed what I mean,
I don’t really explore their real world,
But in the books these kings reign,
Due to nights so much I have learned!!
I keep gazing at the sky full of stars,
I love to see the moon so bright.
Many a time I hear a soft guitar,
And see the moon all shiny and crescent alright!!
It’s so quiet and calm out there,
It seems as if time has stopped,
I love the night time so much,
I smiled when the night time knocked.

Book Review: Flawed
Author- Cecelia Ahern
Genre- Young Adult
Publication- Harper Collins, March 2016
Sequel- Perfect
In a world where women are increasingly commercialized, ‘Flawed’ is a refreshing new book that revolves around a teenage girl who decides to stand up against the society. Celestine North, grew up in a society where mistakes were not tolerated. The Guild, originally set up as a temporary public inquiry into wrong doing, was now a permanent fixture that oversaw the inquisition of individuals accused of being flawed. The accused have most likely made ethical or moral mistakes. Their friends and family are brought in to testify on the accused’s character and a committee of three judges give the verdict. If found guilty, which is almost always the case, their skin is seared with an ‘F’ brand. Celestine was the perfect citizen. She studied hard, got good grades, everybody in school liked her. She had a loving family. But one bus ride changes it all. A gracious act of compassion forces her to leave her family and become an illegal runaway.
The book not only imparts wisdom but also inspires young leaders to take a stand against injustice. One of my favourite characters in the book is her grandfather. Her grandfather was a man of principle. Even though he was often treated like an outcast because of his hatred for the guild, he never bowed down to the pressure. I think one of the most important messages sent through the book is that we don’t understand or act against something that is wrong until we are directly affected by it. With interesting plot twists and a gripping storyline this book is a must read. If you liked books like ‘The Hunger Games’ you will also enjoy reading this.
