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.

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
