Mahabharat

 A ballad on Mahabharata:

Mahabharat is a saga where,

People from the heavenly abode are reincarnated,

A son renounces the throne and takes oath of celibacy,

Where God himself descends on earth to establish dharma,

A rishi curses a king,

God of the children were born,

5 pandavas and 100 kauravas were born,

A teacher asks for a thumb of the archer so that he can make his favorite student the best,

A teacher curses a student for lying about his caste,

A friendship is established,

Brothers fight among themselves,

They try to kill their own blood,

A father turns a blind eye to his son’s deeds,

A princess is married to 5 kuru princes,

Hastinapur is divided,

A barren land is given to a prince to rule,

That barren and is converted by the brothers into the glorious Indraprasth,

Rajsuya yagya takes place where a king is killed by the hands of god himself,

The eldest pandav becomes the samrat but not for long,

A game of chausar is played with high stakes,

But oh lord! The samrat loses everything and decides to stake his brothers and wife!

A woman is disrespected in the court,

Oaths are taken which will lead to destruction,

The brothers exile their own blood,

12 years of vanvas and 1 year of agyatvas,

This too couldn’t satisfy their greediness,

They were not ready to negotiate,

The last option was chosen: War,

The armies stood on both sides,

Families stood on both side,

They were fighting their own family,

It was during this time that god directed mankind and gave us the knowledge of bhagvadgita,

A destructive war was waged,

Massive blood spilled,

Rules of the war broken by both sides,

Leelas played by god,

People were killed brutally,

It was not a fight between the kuru family,

Nor was it between pandavas and kauravas,

It was a war between dharma and adharma,

In which dharma emerged victorious,

The 100 kauravas were killed,

Our god was cursed,

This was the starting of the kali yuga

MUN : First Experience

  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

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                                                           ...
