New people , New mindset??

Suddenly when there so many new people introduced in my life, I feel caged by my conscience.

Meeting people with different characteristics tends to blow a breeze in these silent lands.

Then understanding their personalities,

Trying to hide those reactions which I will be judged by, it's quite a mind workout day in and day out.

Accepting differences, slowly getting into a routine I never imagined myself in

It's moving a little fast to process what it is actually

Finding reason in why people act obnoxiously with spontaneous bursts of energy,

Questioning my pre-conditioned mind to let go of the selfishness of only getting my things done

Learning about their interests and attitude towards life,

left me awestruck with the realization that I only saw the world from my eyes.

The knowledge that I'm going to be stumbling upon them for the next three years posed all the things I'll have to change about myself and all the characteristics I already feel bursting out of my mind

The urge to stay curious and just sit back watch all the actions unfold is still present at the back of my mind,

But things have gotten so much more complicated nowadays.

It is not only your physical presences and actions that define your character,

All those social media accounts, your display pictures, your posts and the number of followers ect...

As if your account is the real you

As if your mask can mask your feelings too

These things have been going on my mind for a while now....

Thought of compiling it into a post.

Please share your view on the same lines....

Apathy's Anchor

A lone tree claimed the land, Lost in its own silence . It held fast , though winds did roar, And birds sang, unheard . Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted. For how could a rock ever truly smile? Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. 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...
