Thoughts Expressed Through Words

  If I could create an alternate world, how would it be? If I could create an alternate world, I would like everything to remain as it is except the technology. Our world is slowly degrading and I don’t want that to happen so in the alternate world that I create, I would like to bring in technology that doesn’t affect the world as it is right now. Otherwise, I would like the world to remain as it is because I believe if there are no problems we would never be able to brainstorm new ideas and solutions to solve them. I think that if there is no restriction, captivity, or imprisonment, we would never understand the value of freedom. If there are no mistakes, there is no learning. If there is no failure, there will be no joy in succeeding. If there is no betrayal, there will be no value of trust. Basically, I believe everything in this world strives to bring out the best in us

  Once I had come back from a long trip and after reaching I had said, “Home sweet home”. I wondered at that time, that what is home, what does this four-letter word actually mean. Some would say it is just a place where you live. But is it really it? Or is it something else? These were the questions that were raised in my mind. I pondered over it and finally discovered that to me, “home” was anyplace in the world my family was in, it was the sense of belonging. Some place where I fit in perfectly even after my imperfections. Between people I could completely relax and understand even without speaking anything. That is home for me.  

  Every day from my primary school itself, I have strived to be a perfectionist. Trying to perfect everything I learn or know. Whether it’d be skating or basketball or writing, I would always try to perfect it. I had always been hard on myself when I can’t seem to perfect a particular skill. For instance, I had always found socializing and playing outdoors tremendously difficult. I would always think why I couldn’t do it. Everyone around me were always encouraging me and telling me to always do it but I simply couldn’t. Even though I never told or showed it, but I did feel upset on not being able to do these activities. For me a perfectionist was a person who is good at everything they do. I could never become the perfectionist that I had envisioned. But one day, a talk with my cousin changed my vision. Between our conversations I asked him if he had been a good or a perfect student back when he was in school. He told me that I should know that a person in any circumstances can nev...

Honestly, lockdown at beginning sounded pretty cool for an indoor person like me. In fact I enjoyed the first few months thoroughly. I was really happy that my exams were cancelled and nobody could nag me to go downstairs and play. But suddenly online schooling began and from the very start I hate online schooling. I think that attending school physically is better than attending online classes. Physical classes were much more entertaining and practical whereas on the other side online schooling was just as boring and eye-straining. I can’t just stare at the screen, the presentation ma’am is showing and listen to her and understand. I need much more physical teaching to understand. But seeing the conditions, I started to get used to online schooling and I don’t think I had a choice. Moving on, now, a year later, I don’t think of lockdown in such high regards. In fact, now I am too bored and frustrated of staying inside the house. Sometimes, I just want to go outside and play and walk t...

  Recently, I attended my first ever Model United Nations (MUN - DWMUN). In the beginning, I was frightened and didn't know if I would actually make it through the event without embarrassing myself or stuttering but thankfully nothing of that sort happened. The experience was enriching. It was really good. Also, the chairpersons and the moderator were extremely helpful and guided us very well. They also answered all of our questions patiently. So, as a first-timer, I would say they were really very considerate and accommodating.          The procedure was quite technical and seemed quite difficult to get but with 2 hours into the MUN and I had finally comprehended what we were supposed to do and what was expected of us. It was a two-day MUN. I had spoken in two moderated caucuses. They were basically the topics that you were expected to speak on. The press conference was absolutely terrifying. The resolution though was the tricky part. I didn't quite get th...

Hope Everyday there is a sunset, Every day the ball of light goes down, Every day the darkness engulfs the light, Every day when the moon rises, I see a little ray of hope, Not really strong but nevertheless a ray of hope, On a new moon day when I am unable to see my ray of hope, I feel lonely and sad, But upon seeing the faint twinkling of the stars, I think that there will always be hope whether you see it or not, There will always be hope in every little thing I see, Like how the darkness engulfs the big ball of light, But the darkness cannot stop the rays of the twinkling stars from piercing it, Even though there is always darkness trying to engulf us during the path of our life, There always will be the hope that helps us through it until dawn arrives                                                           ...
