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.

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.”

 

 

 

When did I discover my love for writing ?

 

 

What is that one thing that gives you intense happiness?



In my case it is writing, I don't know whether everyone who is reading my blog will genuinely enjoy my writing. 

I'm not making any money by writing. I'm writing because it gives the delight that can't be explained through words. It gives me a touch of how we will naturally feel after the meditation.

It's not about wasting time or not getting the money it is the eternal felicity that I feel after writing and publishing the blog.

A sense of gratification. Putting pen and paper together with our thoughts to instantly discover what unfolds is real magic to me. It is fascinating to anyone who passionately loves writing, and they can sense the mellow vibe that I'm referring to.

When did I discover my unconditional love for writing?

I don't know.

I hardly remember I was having a Journal during school days to pen down the casual incidents but after some time I don't remember keeping a diary because of the fear that someone would read it or I'm unfamiliar with this term called "privacy."

Or When I'm randomly penning rather stuff on the back of the rough note. or can see the brilliant spark in my eyes when someone announces it is an essay competition.

Or When I didn't get a prize for the essay competition and that doesn't affect me in any possible way because on the day of the competition after I finish writing an essay about the given topic I felt therefore satisfied like I achieved something and remembering that is the satisfaction I needed the most rather then the prize.

Or when I voluntarily gave my name for inter-school competitions for the first time for essay writing with so much self-confidence and an instinct that I can perform well and have a thought that you got a chance for writing and I can do it. Winning remains the second thing that I had second thought because it is an inter-school competition, so many likely students will write, and receiving a prize is extremely uncommon.

I gave my name to the competition, but that was when there was no smartphone in my home. I had this button phone with a camera that has access to the mobile internet with no currency on the mobile phone. I couldn't go to the browsing center too due to some reasons that I barely remember. All I have managed is a recharge for some 10 or 20rupees (didn't remember) to instantly access the internet to get the points for my writing.

I can write well but to write about something we should first know what it is. The topic given to me was something related to inflation and its effects, for that 10 rupees the internet lasted for some 5 minutes. I couldn't take screenshots on that phone like we are doing now. I searched and wrote some 10 to 15 short points about that topic in my doctor writing (You know what I mean.) because I have to collect as many as points I could before the internet expire.

I refer to the points I noted and on top retained some points in my mind. I got an idea about my topic. Finally, the day came 31st Dec is the competition year I forgot. It was a joyous holiday after half-yearly exams but we were called on 31st Dec only for the competition. I was thoroughly unprepared, but I gave it a chance because all I desire at that time is satisfaction when I write something.

After the competition was over, and we were on a vacation and went back to school. After some days, we got a list of winners in the competition through the mail, and It became a terrific surprise to look at my name on the list. probable that's the instant I would have observed my love for writing...



Or after they arranged a celebration in one of the famous halls in which all the winners from each school had been invited. And also advised that a number of the winners, for two of them, the cash price was there.

The program happened in the afternoon. For half a day I was at school and then went there with my mom. It took some time to get the prizes considering they had been such a lot of students from numerous schools.

 

After receiving the prize. It's time for announcing the winners of the cash prize. I failed to anticipate that it might be me. After they announced that, I was sitting secure within the centre of the crowd with my mom and other friends.

They called out my name and my heart beats very rapidly, and I felt glad. Went directly to the stage and get the cash prize from the guest, who congratulated me with a beaming smile on his face.

All turned into satisfied and felt very glad for being made my mom glad. That memory still holds a top-notch area in my mind and in no way be forgotten. maybe that could - the instant I thought, I like writing and None other things can give me happiness aside from writing.

Or while I was drawn to the individuals who write very well and, just like me, they too had an outstanding hobby in writing

Or, after I had a gut instinct to start a blog and immediately created one.

Or once I find, randomly, the apps, or internet site that promotes one's writing

Or every now and then, I certainly wonder that I had thought about all those things or who brought about them to me

Or, once I pick to read books in place of watching a film and finding that, how fantastically the authors have written a book and questioning, why not you?

Or when I had imagining situations with imaginary characters and behavior in my head every night time, if I didn’t get sleep and an unexpected idea that why should I not write this as a story?

Or once I refer to my writings and automatically develop a greater interest in writing

When did I discover it? I don't know.

I by no means thought about what others think about my writing. Furthermore, I might also or won't be correct, but the satisfaction it gives me is what I want — not handiest that, but I like writing, and I enjoy people who write.

The writing stays a whole one-of-a-kind aspect. And as I already stated, it is enchanted. And when I’m writing, I sense like I’m in a different world wherein I love to lose myself.

 

RELATIONSHIP CHECK

If you are extremely puzzled that the person you are currently with remains your "special person" or not, then please go ahead and read.

You won't acquire these types of questions when you are in a healthy relationship. Because there, no matter how tough the situation gets, you get to know that it is the fight, argument, or anything that is only over the situation and not over the person. 

You both ultimately agree on something and conclude that is common for both. 

This is not the same if the relationship is destructive. It is always over the person. So that's why the first thing they say if things go wrong is let's break up.

When you develop doubt that the person you're with being really worth all the nonsense things you go through because of them. You want to decide whether it is that the person is your special person or it is better to leave.

Not every relationship in common is a cakewalk thing, If it involves two humans there will be two unusual choices, two different thinking process, two different likes & dislikes, two different expectations, and commitments, and a lot more to say, so there will be fights, consent, disagreeing each other thoughts, differences of opinions, possessiveness and even going days without talking to each other. 

Yes, all this happens repeatedly, if it typically involves two humans, the question here is - is it all worth it for that person you are currently with.

Compare the days you laughed and cried because of them. By doing this you can easily come to a conclusion for your better good.

Relationships are like a roller coaster ride, where they have their own ups and grassy downs.

 Every so often you may be brought to very high that you have pleasant smiles, hearty laughter, pleasant memories, but in the contrast, you may fall, having had tears, dearly missing, and problems. 

But what if you are the one who keeps on inevitably falling. To be sure, it is an emotional roller coaster, but if you didn't see the incredible high for a long time - it is that possible time to rethink your relationship.

Any relationship you are in, naturally gives you that comfort zone, pleasant warmth, and intense happiness but what if you didn't see all this for an extremely long time. 

It is time to think carefully and take decisions wisely.

Have a great day my dear friend!

Nostalgia - If poem

When I was in school, I came across a poem (IF by Rudyard Kipling) and read-only the second stanza, from the poem and comprehended it, and read it religiously to get only marks.

After a long time, I got to see the same poem randomly while I'm surfing through the internet. This time I can instantly find the poet's thoughts sensible. But when I attempt to comprehend, I'm just wondering how didn't I take that seriously because this by heart is something that everyone wants to know and follow to attain their goals.

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

To do something great, we should dream first. Every unique creation out there is first seen in the minds it is pleasant to have dreams, but we should carefully keep reality in the mind. We should get undriven by unrealistic dreams.

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

Thoughts come to be things. Thoughts are extremely powerful. We should think if we sincerely want to obtain ideas to do something or to achieve our dreams but, we should make certain that we are having control over what we are thinking because sometimes thinking leads to overthinking thus resulting in thinking about something which is even unrelated to your dreams.

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

Everything includes two sides: positive and negative, happy and sad, a Good day and an unpleasant day, and a lot more to say. Here, Triumph and disaster like two impostors. We become extremely delighted by neglecting our duties. Becoming over-excited about the first success thus by not aiming to reach higher and on the other hand, feeling terrible for the negative things happening around. In both cases, we are naturally forgetting our routine works and our following goals that is why the author considers them as two impostors. The author says don't be too happy or too sad in any situation. I mutually agree with the second point not to be extremely sad because it is not going to lead us anywhere but being too happy is a good thing in my view as it improves the mood and makes you excited and gives you confidence that you can focus more on the other goals.

This gently reminds me of the famous English saying: “Too much of anything is good for nothing”

If you can bear to earth the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

There are always people surrounded by us to degrade us or to misunderstand our words and portray them as very wrong to others. They sometimes make us feel bad for spoken out the truth. Every so often unintentionally they will do but sometimes intentionally they will do. We should not lose our temper after overhearing all these things, and it is just good to ignore the same.

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools.

Everyone will face this situation, being a CA student I can relate to these lines easily When I took attempts to clear my CA inter, I felt the same way. That can't be explained in words that seeing all our efforts are weakened after seeing the word fail even though I have prepared thoroughly well, spent all my days and nights. It is incredibly challenging for anyone to see the wall falling off that we built all these years. But that doesn't stop you. Yeah, I didn't stop. I did wisely put more effort and undertook the various strategies and started again to crack the exams. I cleared my examinations. Once I see the result as pass appearing on the screen, all the gloomy feelings I had inside flown off.

It's not effortless to do it again but with exemplary patience, willpower, and by properly taking care of our mental health We can powerfully build the wall again.

These undoubtedly made me feel all nostalgic, my favourite poem during school days remembering reading this with the friends even I remember the day our Ma'am thought this poem. Memories are something through which we can enjoy the moment again. Experience the moment again. At that time, I didn't know that one day I'll be feeling all nostalgic about school. Those were good old days.

Something Special Abt Friendship(PART — I)👭👫

                                                               FLASHBACK

        We are at the beach now, feel the sand, waves, and the water. It is breezy here. See there, two friends are there on the beach, and they are meeting after a long time on the beach.

Though they were virtually connected, they didn’t meet in person for very long years.

Lolita, Kushi, and Riya are known for their friendship. They are the most favourite combo for all the staff in the school. They had a separate fan base during school time.

Kushi — Her name says she is the happiest all the time. She is known very well for her jovial nature, and she is very ambitious. She is very famous among the other gender during school. She is a warrior herself, as she lost her mom at her young age. Everyone craves her vibe that’s the kind of vibe she has.

Lolita — a beach person. Calm, composed, and brainy, a great follower of the “take-it-easy policy” which she learned from her friend Kushi. She won’t talk a lot, but she will register her point in the places she has to do. She always seeks a solution instead of thinking about the worst that happened. She carries a magic wand wherever she goes. She makes others feel lite, regardless of what they are going through in their life. Her kindness speaks for her.

Here, the problem creator is Kushi and the one who gives the solution is Lolita. And what about the third one, Riya? Haha, she is the most innocent, and she feels scared for the smallest of the smallest things. She is the girl with the most fragile heart. She is as light as a feather and anyone can break her heart easily. She wants to do many things, but she is not ready, and she is the most beautiful among all three.

 

Khushi and Riya both have some similar features, like curly hair, dimple cheeks, specs frame and their short haircut that sometimes they will keep on hearing questions like, are you both siblings? But they are not.

Though all three have very different characteristics, they are very best friends. The most common thing all the three have is they hate the same person: Who’s that person, the other girl in the class.

During their 10th grade, when Khushi’s dad got a job offer from France. He didn’t deny that one. He took his entire family with him. Kushi is the happiest after she heard the news, but it is very hard for all the three that Khushi is going to France.

A day came, Khushi went to France, she took her friends along with her in the form of memories. Every now and then she can feel them near to her by just thinking about Riya and Lolita.

Okay, now coming to the present.

Why only two friends are there on a beach—where is the third one?

What happened to the third friend?

Who came to the beach?

Are that Riya and Lolita because they both are in the same city only

Or is that Lolita and Khushi. Maybe Khushi came for a vacation, but why are they going to come without Riya

Or is that Riya and Kushi? Lolita, not coming to a beach is like when the moon fails, to come on a full moon day. Not at all possible.

Yeah, it is very obvious that the one among the two is Lolita, then who’s the second one?
Oh, it’s a boy standing with Lolita, not a girl. Who’s he?

You can see him, standing next to Lolita.

Okay, we will go a bit closer to them and listen. 

What they talk, I can hear you are asking me, isn’t it wrong to hear someone talking privately? If you want to know who’s that boy and what happened to the other friends, then please come along with me. We are invisible now that no one can see us.

As we got near them, I can slightly hear the name Riya—were they talking about Riya? Yes, they both are talking about Riya.

What happened to her?

They suddenly turn back and see some person in the distance.

To be continued in PART — II
