Musings of the mind within the sky

Beyond the world's highest peak, where the air thins and stars wink like a million playful eyes, lies the spirit realm – the inside of the sky. Here, light particles shimmer and sigh, catching their breath after their tireless races across the cosmos. They bounce off seamless clouds, their laughter echoing like wind chimes as they recharge for their next grand adventure.

Hidden like secrets whispered in a seashell, rain slumbers within the sky. These are no ordinary raindrops, mind you, but tiny tear-shaped dreams waiting patiently for the clouds, their fluffy guardians, to unleash them upon the world. When a playful light particle bumps into a slumbering teardrop, a symphony of colours erupts. They paint the canvas of the sky – vibrant purples of hope, fiery oranges of courage, calming blues of serenity – each hue a reflection of the emotions shared in this dance between light and rain.

But the sky holds more than whimsical games. Deeper within, guarded by swirling auroras that paint the night with emerald fire, lie the universe's secrets. These aren't revealed by mere dust devils or fleeting rain showers. No, it takes the mighty roar of a magnetic storm, its energy a cosmic whisper, to momentarily part the veil and reveal glimpses of the grand design, a cosmic blueprint whispered in stardust.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of this fantastical realm, a peculiar sight unfolds. Asteroids, rough and rocky, line up preening before a shimmering, ever-changing curtain. This is their vanity table, where they attempt, in a cosmically endearing way, to "put on makeup," shedding bits of themselves to appear smoother. Of course, their efforts are charmingly futile; under the watchful eye of the universe, all things remain true to their nature, a testament to the beauty of imperfection.

Finally, within the playful light, slumbering rain, and ever-shifting auroras, lies the heart of the sky: the buzzing kitchen of imagination. Here, dreams are whipped up with stardust, stories simmer in nebulae, and the very essence of wonder takes form. It is in this fantastical place that the playful winks of stars transform into shooting constellations, and the whispers of clouds become bedtime stories dreamt under a sky overflowing with magic, a playground painted with the emotions of the universe itself.

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...

IDK 😶

 Maybe if I’d been prettier. Maybe if I’d been smarter. Maybe if I’d been more mature, never showing that raw, childish side. Maybe if I’d asked for less than time — or maybe if I’d never asked at all. Maybe if I’d been of more value. Maybe if I’d had more friends. Maybe if I’d been less of a mother and more of just an unconcerned lover. Maybe if I’d never questioned your actions, and known you would leave if I ever did. Maybe if I never asked about your chats with other people online, about the girls who were “just friends” touching you. Maybe if I’d died earlier, or maybe if I was never born. Maybe if I never had to lie to my parents and sister. Maybe if I never happened. Maybe if I didn’t hold on to everything that’s gone. Maybe if I never expressed who I really am. Maybe if I never had expectations of love. Maybe if I gave my body earlier. Maybe if I trusted my instincts, instead of silencing them. Maybe if I gave myself less time, like I had any. I know I’m nev...

An unfinished carving

 Everyone was posting about the importance of books, and that the hobby should be kept alive with the current generation. But reading books has been my hobby since I learnt to read. So, I thought of updating my thoughts on the topic. A door into imagination, books are the key to convert all your clumsy, jumbled thoughts into clear pictures. Books can change your attitude towards life by giving you a new perspective! It helps you slip into a world without too many problems, a flawless place where characters are actually characters, meaning they don't influence your life fully but partially! Learning about different cultures and looking into the daily lives of different people, has an enormous effect on your behaviour. Just that it helps you to learn from the mistakes made in history, whether it led to success or disasters you'll learn from it.  There is a wide range of books from fiction to biography, literally on every topic we are interested in. I feel people should just read...
