The Inn In Me

 “Oh,there a new place to snuggle into so appa and amma wouldn't find me,”little Samrudha thought to herself when she had ran out of places to play hide n seek with her parents.In the planet of Gammkama everyone had a high level of patience and inviting nature towards the young girl who stole everyone’s hearts with her melting smile.The young girl , Samrudha was a chubby little girl who enjoyed all the luxury and love showered on her every moment of the day.She appeared to be very unique because of the four hands and legs she posses.In Gammakama everyone had only 3 hands ,three legs and 3 hemispheres in the brain.What everyone could see was that she had 4 hands and legs but she also had 4 brains and no one knew about it.It would rather be shameful to tell everyone because she was slower than the other children in processing what she learnt.But nothing stopped her from playing all day and finding  new places in the house and street to hide in.

Playing all day and figuring out the constantly changing house she lived in was Samrudha’s daily agenda.It was usual to see the kitchen moving from the left to the top floor while the room takes its place down stairs where the kitchen was before.Being very absent minded Samrudha has walked into the wall several times and had to be rushed to the doctor for stitching up the opened wound.Thankfully the door never moved because if Samrudha had decided to go for breakfast to one of her friends house she would have ended up in the kitchen with Lavanya her mother trying to feed her with all the patience she could gather.It had been one of the five year old girl’s hobbies to walk out and inside anyone house at any time in the street if their door was open.While Samrudha followed her hearts desire to walk every where Lavanya followed her child to drag her back home and at least see the homework given to her.

When it comes to school and studying Samrudha had an easy way out as this where she used her mind at least a little.Once she comes from school she’ll leave her bag next to the door so it stays there for the extended time she takes to sallow her snack and wake from her nap.Once she wakes up very slowly while her sister monica is being put to sleep,she’ll get her bag and put it in a place where it always not visible even when it moved that was the small space the fridge had.Once she’s done with this she’ll play all day with her cute little baby sister Monica a gourmand, who cried for almost everything.Samrudha relished all luxury and love showered on her every moment of the day without realizing that her life is never going to be the same.

One day her parents said that we’ll be visiting the neighbouring planet called earth.It quite famous in the Milky way galaxy gazette that was an yearly update of what is happening on every celestial object in the galaxy.But being very closed in the mind the first thing she always felt was fear.It was like a fear of new things,places,mostly PEOPLE.They were like danger alerts for her.

On setting foot on the ground it seemed like she was on fire. Her instant love for the place was exhibited in her openness by the way she ran around the large lawn which had a few trees, unaware of the fact  that it was a school and they’d come for an admission .Meanwhile, her parents had seen the simple, but beautifully architected building in which there were rooms and a montessori environment set for the coming year of school .

Sathuragiri experience

  Sathuragiri is a pilgrimage site located in the district of Virudhunagar in Tamilnadu. The hills are actually a part of the Western Ghats. The name is in Tamil, as 'chaturam' means square and 'giri' means mountain. Many people say the the hill is square-shaped, so that's where the name originates from. I saw that the temple built around the 2 'suyambu' lingam or the two idols that are not installed by any person but they exist on their own is in the middle of 4 different hills.  Our group consisted of 4 girls and their fathers and four other uncles. Everyone was a school friend except my father, our group’s leader and another uncle. Everyone is such an amazing person. We had great fun throughout the entire journey. They all taught me so much by talking about their life experiences and many other incidents that changed their lives. We began our trek from a madam at the foot of the hills in SriVilliputhur. Filled with adventurous paths, I had great fun a...

An unfinished carving

 Everyone was posting about the importance of books, and that the hobby should be kept alive with the current generation. But reading books has been my hobby since I learnt to read. So, I thought of updating my thoughts on the topic. A door into imagination, books are the key to convert all your clumsy, jumbled thoughts into clear pictures. Books can change your attitude towards life by giving you a new perspective! It helps you slip into a world without too many problems, a flawless place where characters are actually characters, meaning they don't influence your life fully but partially! Learning about different cultures and looking into the daily lives of different people, has an enormous effect on your behaviour. Just that it helps you to learn from the mistakes made in history, whether it led to success or disasters you'll learn from it.  There is a wide range of books from fiction to biography, literally on every topic we are interested in. I feel people should just read...

GUILT

Guilty is the mind that has not accepted what your heart has. Guilty is that mind which looks over a 1000 possibilities knowing that the first one has already happened, Guilty is the mind for dreaming of the perfect world all alone Each time I pick up those dirty plates I see the leftovers  the guilt fills me as  I remember the boy begging by the hotel The young girl whose cloths hung over her fragile skeleton The baby on her back crying in hunger. Each time I see the garbage hills and land fills I'm engulfed in guilt The guilt of ignoring that sight and not doing anything about it The guilt of ignoring in spite of the knowledge that its going to affect my planet , my generation Each time I see water leaking out off an unfixed tap  I'm immersed in guilt as I can feel the scorching sun burning my skin I can imagine what would be left of the ozone if we continue global warming at this rate Each time I come across an article on a religious conflict    I'm fill...
