I WISH I HAD YOU BY MY SIDE

I wish I had you by my side.

I wish I had you by my side

Every time I think about you

Every time I feel that empty gap in my heart,

Every time I need a person to just listen

I wish I had you by my side

When I need a shoulder to cry on

When I need a person to share my experiences

When I feel left out form the constant buzz of this world

I wish I had by my side

this moment

because I don't know what I'd do without you

(From when I was 5yrs old this is the only constant wish I've never been able to fulfil. Then I wanted my parents and sister now that I have them with me always I've started wanting the people I've become attached to at the different phases of my life. My friends, teachers and maybe patience too!!)

The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...

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...
