Beginning the new year

Those last days of December when everyone was sulking that an entire year has gone by, I felt like I've actually lived through the year. When I look back, I'm astonished by the number of things I've learned from all those innumerable mistakes. I've become more desperate to make an impact and change the environmental situation we've brought on ourselves. I now see where all the poverty is coming from. It isn't not that the rich remain rich and the poor remain poor. It is only genes that comes through the generations it isn't the state of living. What we need education on, is how to handle life when you get cheated on. Moreover, how recognise who is cheating on you and how isn't. I feel these are the things that we need to learn in order to change the standard of living.

Sitting on the edge of my teenage years I realised I'm still asking childhood to take my hand and not to let go. I've just gotten an introduction to what this world can do. The idea began to consume me from the inside. Earning a living , making an impact and being the change. I've just begun to understand what the world is , I feel like I need another childhood to understand who I am.

 I thought we choose one path go down it and success!! Looks like the whole idea is portrayed in a different way. Looks like each day I'm building that path. I thought it always existed , maybe it does. But I seem to discover it inch by inch just for myself.

The whole process of understanding this took me an entire year of frantic search .Feels like I've looked over the mountains and through the winds. Feels like I've glanced at those heaps of pain and peeped onto the small things i consider success. I reckon that I've judged positively and that's what 2022 has taught me.

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...
