Is this the place to explore??

 Two harmonious siblings Mano and Meena lived in an apartment in Chennai.They had all the time to play as all their friends were also in a lock down.Their happiness knew no bounds to playing all day.They spent the whole morning in the car park while the nights were silent while all the children slept.It seemed like the car park had become more of a children’s park as the cars become an EXPLORING TOOL.

   It all seemed like dreamland until the man had invaded the car park.He was a very strange man as he wore very tattered clothes and worn out flip flops.His presence caused them a lot of discomfort.He Always seemed to be up to something.All the parents got concerned as the man was unsafe.Therefore they told children that they will have to be back to the house by the time he comes.The children followed this for a few days but they got quite hopeless when the lock down got extended for two more weeks while they were always grounded.

Mano and Meena were curious about the man as he was the cause for their cut in the play time.Being urged by their curiosity they decided to stay back and see what the man was actually doing.So that afternoon when all the other children left Mano and Meena stayed back.They hid behind of the big cars and waited for the man to come.It was only after a few minutes that he came in with a different kind of dress.But what really surprised them was just as he came the akka's next door came as if it was planned in very exposing dresses .Menna being elder than manu sensed that something is going to be wrong and covered Mano’s eyes.The man then covered all the places where the light came from the sun.Now the whole place was completely dark.Mano was extremely sacred and scampered . This made a noise that disturbed the man.So He came very close to the car and saw if someone was there . The children maintained pin drop silence so the man assumed that it was from the neighbour's house and left.Mano then looked at Meena pleading her to get out of there.But then meena seemed to be ready for it with a laser light.She shined the light at the man for a second and took it off.This time the man was sure that someone was there moved towards the car. Mano quickly crouched and meena covered herself with the black shawl she got.The man now started walking so fast towards meena that meena’s shawl almost started flying.But the children's mom came running down from the kitchen with a ladel in her hand.She ran so fast that she stopped a few space away from the man.She raised her hand and hit the man hard on the head with the ladle.The Man fell at her feet from the sudden attack while Meena and Mano hugged their heroic mom for saving their lives.Their mom smiled and said, “Please don’t do such naughty things without informing me. But now that the man's out, your playtime has gone back to the whole day.”

EARTH DAY '24 - THE FACTS

It's  2024 and Global temperatures are rising at an alarming rate . The average surface temperature has increased almost 1.5°C (about 2.5°F) . The loss of biodiversity disrupts entire ecosystems, impacting everything from clean water to food chains. 58% of the global population, or 3.8 billion people face water scarcity and we should question the loss of biodiversity in another post, as the list is longer than ours! Thanks to our ignorance of other residents we share our planet with ! The oceans are not giant trash cans! 88% of water is filled with plastics. We are at the situation of consuming air polluted at 53.3 micrograms per cubic meter. Now I'm not surprised 544.9 million people in the world face breathing issues!  Deforestation, desertification, and other forms of land degradation are reducing the Earth's land productivity.  1.83 billion trees are planted every year, while 15.3 billion are cut down due to human activity. This means that one tree is planted for...

A green shadow

In the midst of emerald fields, Where nature's beauty never yields, Lies a shadow, deep and green, A sight that's rarely seen. It dances among the trees, Whispering secrets on the breeze, A cloak of verdant hue, A symbol of life anew. It stretches across the land, A guardian, strong and grand, Protecting all that lies beneath, From the harshness of the heat. It's a reminder of the earth's embrace, A symbol of its endless grace, For without this green shadow, Our world would surely fallow. It's a haven for creatures small, A shelter for them all, A place to rest and hide, From the scorching sun outside. But this shadow is more than just a shield, It's a symbol of life, forever sealed, For without the greenery it holds, Our world would be barren and cold. So let us cherish this green shadow, For it's a gift from nature, we must know, A reminder of the earth's might, And the beauty of its green light. - Bharathi Senthilkumar
