Take to the rosy skies!

To always, fly high to paint the sky is my only dream, to live between the clouds, and to grasp the stars which are not soaked by raindrops. Despite your worthiest efforts, there is inevitably something that hinders you down. For that matter, it can be a person, a situation, or unwanted thoughts. Sometimes we don't follow our fond dreams because the environment in which we are, financial situation, specific circumstances, lack of confidence, among other reasons, halts us. If needed, taking a break is completely fine. A high kite in the air may come down if its owner feels it or it may go high and high or it may fall either way, as long as it is free when it is trying to let go of something that controls it. Whatever happens, how you react matters.

 

LOST IN THOUGHTS

#Colour shades!

 

One rainy evening, after a drizzle, after I saw that beautiful rainbow ray of light,

I lost in thoughts. How colorful it was who painted those brilliant shades on the sky. 

Why wasn't Black there? Why is it in a bow shape and where is the arrow?

 

#A windy evening!

The limitless sky without any flaws, sending me the silent message
In search of that message, where it was, from whom it was
Found the message is from the inner me.
Some kites had been flying and birds, too.
I was listening to music and how beautiful that the track resonates with the leaves shaking by the wind blowing.
For a little while, I was no longer there mentally.
I was taking leisurely walks. I’m therewith headphones earphones on, but where I was.
On my thoughts, on my thoughts with the lyrics on my ears and it is good to lose in thoughts sometimes!

 

#Dark Clouds!

One new year morning, the clouds started pouring and right away went to rain to heartily welcome a new year with all the greens surrounded by me, the scent of mud draws me there.

I simply close my eyes and felt the rain. 

It turned into a drizzly day; however, I have been drenched by the thoughts of you. Yes, you!

How lovely to get soaking wet by the rain and lost in thoughts?

 

Something Special Abt Friendship(PART — II)👭👫

 

Note to the readers: Read Part – I (posted on 16 th may) before reading Part – II for continuity and better understanding.

                 Lolita and Riya had joined in the same college and there they got a friend known as Deepak; he is likewise from the same school, but not in touch during school days because Deepak is having a twin sister that all the three hates.

 But somehow Deepak ended up pursuing Viscom, where her twin sister, Dipanjali, selected not to do the same. So, the twins got separated for the first time. These three (Riya, Lolita, and Deepak) had been put in a group for doing research, then their friendship starts there, that they emerge as very close.

Deepak was in love with a girl that both Riya and Lolita know but do not longer realize who she is.

Back in school, Deepak was one naughty kid. He used to voluntarily take in punishment even earlier than he given any punishments by the teachers.

Yes, he used to hate doing homework given at school, so the next day, even earlier than the start of the class, along with his buddy Ryan, companion in crime used to go “stand out of doors the class”–which became the punishment normally given for no longer finishing the homework.

One day the teacher came and asked everybody to take a seat and noticed these two standing out of doors without coming in and asked why they're standing? Deepak stated that they have not done their homework, and so they are already doing the “stand-outside-classroom” punishment. Their teacher intensely irritated and shouted in Tamil, “Neenga Elam urupuduve poradu ila !” And continued with her class! Some days the teacher would feel sorry and make them sit but these two never do the homework.

It turned into one nice morning and both Riya and Lolita were on the way to college they used to go on a bike and go college. 

Lolita will ride and Riya will take a seat in the back and will shout, even when she saw a lorry in the distance. Riya was saying to Lolita that yesterday on her laptop, she saw the 10th-grade last-day pics.

 She added that she does have pretty mixed emotions about that day, however, still one of the best days of our school life. Which indirectly tells that that was the last day all the three had been together, and then Khushi flew off to Paris.

Lolita sensed that Riya was feeling bad and, on the time, they arrived at the college, and they ought to walk for a few three mins after the parking region today, they were earlier to the classes, so no person turned into there in the class except those two and one more boy. 

Lolita told yeah, it was a wonderful day and the final part wherein we all began bitching about the teachers, random boys, and our enemy Dipanjali.

Then she brought you to remember how we crave for Maggie during school days and while Khushi bought the same, we will finish off the same during the break time.

Then Riya told, yeah, yeah, and then she added, do you remember the stalls near our school and the way it's far flooded through the students after school ends

Lolita gave one weird look, saying you madam only order things to me and Khushi, we have been those who pass and buy-in that crowd. Riya gave one mischievous smile.

Deepak entered the class, and he joined the communication and suddenly Lolita and Khushi began teasing him saying some of the naughty things he did in school like once, he locked himself with his friends inside the classroom and shouted like something to pretend that somebody locked them from outdoor and called out people for help and then got nicely from the principal.

That's no longer funnier than before you three fought before the class, Deepak replied.

Lolita and Khushi were like when? This guy is simply, adding stories.

Your best friend Khushi asks you to help her distribute chocolates among all students. And ma'am instructed, only two ought to try this and you three started fighting and finally, you both ended up in distributing chocolate as Khushi, the birthday girl, exhausted and wanted to stop the fight. HAHA.

All of them decided to go to the movie "piku" on a Saturday. Lolita and Deepak reached the place in advance and they had some half of an hour time left as normal Riya came late.

Then Lolita and Deepak goes to the beach, which was very close to the movie place and Lolita told Deepak that Riya's charming sister (journalist) called me for a dinner the next day. You can also come, so we will spend some quality time tomorrow with Riya's sister. This is the thing we heard in Part – I that Lolita was saying something about Riya to the boy who was standing next to her on the beach.

And that they each noticed Riya from the long and waves hand, but it turned into only seven minutes left for the film. They asked Riya to stop coming towards them and went there and finally watched a film.

HIDE AND SEEK

Deepak couldn't go for dinner as he had some plan together with his girlfriend and Lolita does not want to disturb him.

The three went for dinner and Riya's sister as an investigative journalist shared about her works and it simply fascinated Lolita and told her that she was wondering that how she could get a sister like this. Two of them started laughing, and Riya became being grumpy.

Riya's sister asked about Khushi and they both started telling stories about them and about the delicious chocolates recently sent by Khushi and the way they celebrated her birthday by delivering flowers, cake, and gadgets. Even though they may stay miles apart, nothing can prevent the way they're celebrating their friendships.

After dinner, Lolita came for a night's stay at Riya's pleasant house. They each have been in Riya's room and Riya started showing her old tenth-grade pics, Lolita told that why don't we make a call to Khushi now, and they did a WhatsApp call but Khushi's line became busy, They both had been like madam was doing some busy work let's talk to her the next day and they started keenly watching this series called "Mismatched."

But Riya, a constantly an over-thinker, started wondering in her thoughts with whom Khushi will be speaking and all and after some time she fell asleep.

Yeah, how can Khushi attend a call while she is talking together with her boyfriend, who's none other than their best buddy Deepak.

The plan Deepak had with his girlfriend was to talk to her over the phone and that is the reason he hadn't come for dinner.

Since they're in long-distance relationships and with 3.30 hrs timing differences between both the places, it changed into hard for them to speak regularly.

 On the time when Khushi wakes up and checks her smartphone, Deepak might be already in college, attending the third class for the day.

 But every day, she will eagerly read the messages that Deepak left her before he leaves the house for college and for that she will reply and those messages he's would take a look at during lunch break and reply each day this is going on.

Other than studies, Deepak is engaged as a freelance content writer and dealing appropriately with various clients and he turned into absolutely occupied after the classes and at some point, on Saturday.

Even Khushi carries out her part-time job for managing her personal expenses as she doesn’t want to disturb her father and it’s quite common there to work in part-time after college.

Although they both have been busy, they make sure that Sunday night time that they each must be free and spend their quality time together.

When did their passionate love story start?

Are they in love from their school days?

Why Khushi doesn't inform anything their best friends?

What will be their reaction if Riya and Lolita get to know about this?

(to be continued in part III)

Though miles may lie between us, We are never far apart.

      I usually hear people talking about how to overcome when relationships fail. But how often do we speak about, how will we feel, or how to overcome when the loved ones leave while being our loved ones and the most cherished ones.

Puzzling?

While the best childhood buddy of yours leaves from the old house to new residence in the new place?

While a friend leaves the school just due to the fact their parents were given a transfer?

When it is mandatory to leave our buddies after college got over?

While the friend leaves the workplace and opts for another workplace or moves to another country?

Whilst a girl/boy leaves their dad and mom home after their marriage?

While a daughter/son moving abroad for their higher studies or job?

Some might imagine What’s a huge deal in this? We are in a world where we can hook up with our loved ones every time or on every occasion. But with a few, it could work, but with others, it won’t, due to the Different schedules, unique workstyle, different time zones, different lifestyles, and whatnot.

Memories are one the best factor that going to last. There are such a lot of friends with whom I traveled in the same direction and bet what even, I was given that “bye-bye” time with them.

Right from school to the office, I’m working now, I bid the bye to many friends. I recognize that this is going to be the final day with them in that phase, but nonetheless, I can’t do anything about it right.

Do I go to feel terrible they are going away from me?

 

Or I’m going to happily bid a farewell from them.

 

They moved from me and that I moved from some of my dear pals.

 

That’s how life happens right.

 

However, I’m so happy that I’m still in contact with almost many friends but not with every person. But that doesn’t go to lower back my school days or workplace days.

 As it happens, we will meet them, but meeting in the same place like how we used to be with them in common is a big question mark.

 Everything happens for a reason, and everybody to your existence comes for a reason.

 I learned so many factors from my dear friends, they may be one of the most important purposes for who I’m today.

 Nothing but, it is a tremendous feeling to undoubtedly have someone close to you by your side even they are countless miles apart. Distance doesn’t matter and Distance increases love. This is not merely for relationships but also for everyone who shares that special bond with anyone they respect and like the most.

 All these farewells thought me a huge thing, even when they are leaving, they communicated me some message, nothing is permanent anyone who may be your friends may move miles apart from you but That doesn't even go to reduce the unconditional love that you both have for each other. So, whenever we are getting a chance to be with a friend or any loved ones for that matter, Live it to the fullest; make memories because that’s the only thing that going to lasts with you forever and ever.

 As I conclude this, my heart swelled with the love, that I shared with my friends. Some went with a fond farewell and some not. If that's how it was meant to happen, I'm contented that it happened for our better good.

 

~your friend.

 

Karma is a Boomerang!

You'll have honestly seen a student who is part of the group, however, doesn't need to take part in any crew activities. I am that one student during my online class. It isn't an intentional act, however, I am not interested and engaged in office work.

 

But right here comes the twist, while new faculty came and created a new group with people of five and allocated you as a leader for that group with some given topic to discuss about over WhatsApp group during the break and come back to class and present the same and none of your group members are responding to any of your messages besides one group member and that team member continuously repeating "I do not have any idea", You do something you need to do or conform to something you are saying.

 

 I felt “karma is a boomerang” strongly on that moment, but it would not affect me because it's my favourite activity that day.

 

 The activity given by the faculty is to create a short story on our own with the words Fortitude, Perseverance, Love, project, dedication, enthusiasm.

 

 With no one to help me with this, I promptly wrote a brief story and presented it before the class representing my so-called team.

 Here, follows the short tale.

 

 A girl named Riya (One of my favourite fictional character from the book, named “Half girlfriend”) was full of enthusiasm for sports activities, as something especially cricket however, she did not have a similar enthusiasm for the subjects.

 

 Riya’s incredible dedication and passion for the direction of cricket are considerable. In case you enter her room, it is going to be the simplest, full of cricket posters, cricket bats, and cricket balls.

 

 She will be able to get to practice early within the morning and once more during the night-time after her school.

 

 Her circle of relatives loves watching cricket. They remain fantastic fans of Dhoni, Virat, Sachin. But they are not very much interested in her daughter playing cricket, they're no longer ready.

 

 She didn't receive any support from her family; however, her friends recognize her for her perseverance.

 

 Even Riya knew the chances had been no longer in her favour. She had that fortitude to continue fighting for what she loves the maximum that's cricket.

 

 The match is just three months away, and Riya had sufficient practice to perform nicely in the match, but she does not recognize a way to ask permission from her mother and father sooner or later.

 

 She was given sufficient braveness to request permission. Riya's mother and father with a deal in case you score 80% within the coming examination, which is two to three weeks away, then you may carry out with the match, which came as a mission for her due to the fact she isn't habitually a good deal into her studies, all nowadays.

 

 She stopped practicing cricket for those weeks and worked difficultly enough to get 80% on her tests. She goes to her friend's location to clear the doubts.

 Once assessments were given over, she commenced practicing each day for the match. She was performed, believed that irrespective of the results, she can attend the match. Sooner or later, the results day came, but Riya scored only 65% and not 80 %.

 

 Riya's long-time buddies got disappointed. Because Riya's mother and father might not allow her to carry out the cricket match. Riya didn't dare to confront her parents.

 

 However, as a surprise, her parents gave her permission to perform in the match, because of the fact they have got seen her daughter working difficultly enough to get 80% in the tests, simply due to the fact her dad and mom told her.

 

 The matchday came, Riya performed well and well in the brilliant match.

(The story ends here).

 

 Maybe, the story is not much interesting or a likable one but the fact that I can use my imagination and write a story on my own that too in a short time gave me immense satisfaction. That is why as I always say, it is important to have passion for everyone to enjoy that satisfaction for your better good and not for anyone else.

 

 But what If the Activity given to my team is something other than story writing, how would I have presented it before the class without the help of the team members. That's when I realized. 

 It's pretty hard in that situation and for the rest of the days during the class. I used to be enthusiastically participating in all the crew activities supporting my group. You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know, Until You Do and I mean it.

IMPACT OF COVID - 19 ON SCHOOL EDUCATION IN INDIA

No one would have guessed that a virus-like Covid-19 would come and without differentiating, it will alter the lifestyle of people. Due to Covid-19, many changes came to our world and It took some time for everyone to adopt the new normal. The Covid-19 impact was everywhere, which resulted in the closure of Schools and other educational institutions.

Initially, most governments have decided to temporarily close the schools to reduce the impact of Covid-19. Later it was reopened for a few grades, which increased the number of infection rates and then closed again.

Though schools are closed, students are attending their classes through various education initiatives like online classrooms, radio programs. Though it is a good thing happening on the other side, there are lots of students who didn’t own the resources to attend the online classes suffer a lot. Many students are struggling to obtain the gadgets required for online classes.

Teachers who are all experts in Blackboard, Chalk, books, and classroom teaching are really new to this digital teaching, but they are adopting the new methods and handling it like a pro to aid the students in the current position.

But on the negative side, many teachers are looking for an alternative job to support their families.

Educated parents are supporting their children throughout the pandemic, but we require to understand that there are some illiterate parents and their feeling of helplessness to help their children in their education.

There are students in India who came to school just because they can get food. The great midday meal scheme has helped many children who couldn’t bring their food from the home to get their nutrition.

Because of the closure of the schools, many students were suffering from not having enough food for their survival.

There is always a delay or cancellation of exams, which leads to confusion for many students and there is no room for curriculum.

Most of the school-going children are involved in child labour to support their families.

There is a lot of chance that the education of female children and transgender children will affect, as their parents may see, the financial and opportunity costs of doing so.

This pandemic has not only affected the students but also the Low-budget institutions and schools, resulting in close-down the same.

There are both positive and negative matters happening around us amid the Covid-19.

Technology paves the way for education, thus helping the students and teachers to connect virtually through online classrooms, webinars, digital exams, and so on.

But the sad truth is that it is not available to many students all over the nation.

Everything is happening for the well-being of the students so that they can stay safe at home without getting affected by the life-threatening virus.

We are not ready for this, but it came, so we have to go through this together, but we have to update the infrastructure and should think of ways to undertake the situation and providing education to every child amid the pandemic if we face something precisely like this in the future to aid the forthcoming generation. Stay home. Stay safe.

THE POWER - BOOK REVIEW

This book has to study after reading the book, "the secret."

The writer has beautifully explained love and the impact of love on each stage of life.

I constantly love assuming, what might the world look like if cash is changed with love. Quite strange. But I love it.

How the book, the secret, reveals the law of attraction. In this book, the author talks about the best power in the universe, for by way of using the power, we will get anything that we wished for.

Love is the power and that power lies within us.

The kind of love that the writer pointed out is altogether different from what humans understand love to be.

The writer is pronouncing that whatever you need for your existence or the areas you want to enhance like relationships, economic desires, profession, home, journey, health, and so forth — you may get it.

But how?

If you know what is power and you ought to know a way to use that power to your ultimate good.

You need to sense love for it. It's quite simple — we're all magnets right here and we draw to ourselves, the situations, people, matters, or anything that beneficial to our thoughts and emotions. It may sound false to a person, but many exceptional people in the universe have used the power to achieve the matters they're now recognized for.

Additionally, she gives small tales in between to comprehend the power more and to find the same to be practical.

Every chapter has a quick recap after the next chapter starts as "points of power."

The author has defined feeling frequencies, Gratitude, creation, and imagination in this book.

To put it simply, the excellent manner to make existence happier is, moreover, by thinking more positively than negatively, practicing alongside other techniques referred to inside the book with the aid of the writer.

you can or won't consider the matters communicated inside the book, but, If you just give it a try to follow all of the steps given within the book, you can see the developments in your life. You are going to lose nothing by way of giving it a try. So why not?

And to conclude, I have listed out some of the quotes from the book that I really like the most :

1. “Absolutely everything you experience in your life is a result of what you have given in your thoughts and feelings, whether you realize you have given them or not.”

2. “If you have more negative things than positive things in your life, then something is very wrong and you know it.”

3. “You cannot exercise much power without gratitude because it is gratitude that keeps you connected with power.”

4. “There are no accidents or coincidences in life - everything is synchronicity - because everything has a frequency. It's simply the physics of life and the universe in action.”

5. “Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to re-infect yourself.”
