The indication of life

Form the little amount of travelling I've done around south India I feel the best train travel is from coimbatore to banglore. Triggered by the amusing yet suttle scenary and heart filled with the smiles of humans who work for their living place I write this blog post. 
It was a totally new and exuberant experience to give sarees to the women of doddur village (near soolagiri) and paint those smiles of fulfillment. What gave us ( my sister and I) happiness was not just giving them beautiful garment (a big shout out to aumm cloths foundation for their tireless )but watching them chitchating about putting it I'm their bags and showing their people at home. Somewhere deep in my heart I feel sustainability isn't only about reusing, reducing and recycling. I feel it's about being responsible enough to not only use free time in watching the tv or phone, or holidaying. It should be that openness to interact with different people with different social backgrounds and support their living, because they certainly are way more sustainable than us. By earning from working for their lands and saving meticulously not to holiday but to only grow another set of crops. Watching those strong women walking over 6kms to work and perform  exhilarating work was when I understood how loousy I am. 
Drowned in this line of thought I pen a poem 

The emrald green 🟢 of those fleashy leaves give that sense of desnity the concentration of deep thoughts
The moss green 🟢 of the short bushes highlights that amount of contribution doesn't matter, it only matters that's your contributing
The parakeet green 🟢 of the newly bloomimg leaves shows life with all its delicacy
The pictacho green 🟢 withered leaves show that life can be used if you have the courage for it 
And lastly those brown 🟤 patched truncks and branches of varying thickness show that inspite of winds and storms that supporting structure is what allows for life to happen. 

Just purely my thoughts combined in a probably werid way. But that's how it turned out. Hope you enjoyed reading... Do comment on your valuable thoughts and comments below!!

it's really happening

When it all happens too fast  When you realise sitting around isn't an option anymore  When you feel the anxiety building  When your heart starts beating faster When your mind races imagining the impossible When your surroundings are quiet and dark but your gut pushes you to get out  When all that was once a routine slowly starts to end  When all the mistakes replay in your mind  When all your dreams aren't only what you see in sleep but the fuel to make everyday brighter Maybe that's when life's happening  Pulling you to make your decisions and draw your plan  Urging you to succeed in such a phenomenal way that even you had never imagined  Just random feelings and thoughts  - BHARATHI SENTHILKUMAR

Survival vs. Success

It's a common misconception that survival and success are synonymous. While surviving challenges is undoubtedly a significant achievement, it doesn't necessarily equate to a fulfilling life. This post attempts to give perspective into the nuances of survival and success, exploring how they intersect and diverge. Historically, survival was the primary goal of human existence. Hunters and gatherers faced daily threats from predators and environmental factors. Their ability to adapt and overcome these challenges was paramount. Today, while our immediate threats have evolved, the fundamental need for survival persists. However, success is more than just staying alive. It involves achieving a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and well-being. This can be achieved through personal growth, career advancement, meaningful relationships, or contributions to society. Innovation has been a double-edged sword. It's increased our odds of survival, but it's also created new complexities. ...

Art vs AI

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many artists and creative professionals are growing concerned. Just as the Industrial Revolution automated manual labor, AI now seems to be taking over intellectual and artistic work. From writing and research to art and learning, it’s quite agonizing to watch AI make even our minds complacent. Sure, AI offers the benefits of speed and efficiency. But if we start accepting vague reproductions of a lifetime’s work, it raises serious concerns about how we express perspectives. The key difference between human-made and AI-generated art lies in emotion . Every word, brushstroke, and musical note carries the weight of personal experience, cultural shifts, and societal narratives. Art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling, struggle, and human connection. AI can be a useful tool, but it shouldn’t replace human artistry. It lacks the ability to feel, dream, or rebel —qualities that define great art. Instead of letting AI...
