Migration

 Today is World Migratory Bird Day. From a young age watching flocks of birds rule the sky for over hours has been my major form of enjoyment. First, I was only enchanted in the beauty of their flapping wings and their mesmerizing melodies. Once I understood many forces are acting on it, I begin getting the feeling of astonishment. In spite of all of the gravity and drag with that small body it can produce so much thrust that it can lift itself to be in the place where it can get that bird-eyed view.

When I was just pondering about those days, when I sat down not to think about the future but just to stare at the birds fly across from tree to tree. When I was thinking about Migration as a whole, I jotted down my thoughts and this is what I wrote: -


When we exit the womb into the world,

When we acquire the maturity to identify good over bad,

When we adjust our need of food, to the need of money,

When we stop dreaming about others and begin planning for ourselves,

When we are pulled down and caged to allow our wings to be chopped,

When we decide on the words, we atter

I think we have changed -

Migrated from our comfort zone!!

Just as the constant chirp of the birds becomes inaudible....

Just as the constant buzz of your thoughts calm down even when your surrounded by chaos.





My thoughts as raw as they were.

I'm hoping to wake up one morning and see that the whole world lives harmoniously, with peace and ego-free lives. I know it will not happen until there's a big change, that everyone realizes is essential to adjust to these small changes we all go through.

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
