Twists in my Life #1

Recently, a very life changing event took place.

It changed the perspective I had to many aspects of life.

Each day when I wake up with the excitement of a new sunrise,

When I wake up with the gratefulness of another chance to prove myself and accept myself.

I am certain of what will happen the next moment.

I've planned the next move the second before

Yet I am anxious of the future, unable to experience the present.

What happens to the 'Plan' if there is an unexpected event?

I started to feel broken

I started looking for excuses to assure myself that I'm not wasting my time.

I think I am feeling this way only because nothing has happened to me, nothing big enough for me to even understand the pain.

I'm just affected by what has happened to my mother. It not only affects me as I am to take over the various responsibilities in the house but on an emotional level, its simple hard to process truth.

She has gotten hurt and we have 100% grantee and hope that she will get better in a matter of months.

I'm getting a feeling that the main requirement to live life according to all those plans or more specifically the first and foremost plan is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, for a happy life. I want to accept things more easily, even if there are not always on the road to growth.

I'm an having an all-new experience of helping others, just staying by their side, take care of the house, allow the activities to unfold and finish them on the go, maybe it is a full-scale attempt of the big concept of 'multi-tasking'. Accepting the inability to manage two or three things together, handling all the comments of the food, most importantly managing time has been quite a task which I'm obviously failing at.

But surely, I'm learning a lot, each day. Just now feeling all the things that were always done for me, the things that go unnoticed until you don't get the taste of it.

A short article to summarize a major part of the month, an experience I have never even dreamed of having!!

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
