We Rise By Lifting Others

When was the last time you appreciated someone? When was the last time someone appreciated you? In this day and age of social media and the omnipresent internet, it gets very easy to give each other joy through a small combination of words.

Trial And Error

Strewn across the ground was the body of a bird.

Blood trickled out of her beak and soaked

Her wings that had dared to fly. But her eyes

Weren’t filled with fear or cowardice or regret;

Luminous Darkness

The Sun’s gleam
And its light
Trickles like a stream
Into my eyes.

For a moment
They are blinded
In bewilderment
Of the luminescence.

The Photo

I captured your spirit in a 3 by 4 frame.
The future may bring changes
But this will always remain the same
Several decades will pass by
And I will have grown old,
But my memories will remain nigh.

Online Education in India

Online education isn’t something that was created recently. Also called e-learning, it is conducted in a virtual learning environment where the distance between the professor and learner is inconsequential. Some schools use visual training materials, which is a form of virtual courses. It had become quite popular among professionals and college students long before the coronavirus forced us all to adopt it. Teachers and students around the world had to get accustomed to the nuances of this method of teaching.

 As a pupil myself, I confess that it was not as easy as some might have thought, and I can only imagine the difficulties faced by the teachers. Now, after more than six months of virtual learning, it is time to review and look back on the good, the bad and the ugly that came with this mode of education.

Beginning

I wanna go back,
Way back to the
Beginning.
When we all had
Fun and nobody cared
About winning.
Yeah, those were the
Days we were truly
Living.
So take me back
All the way to the
Beginning.

Because You’re Worth It!

The world likes to sell lies
To make us question ourselves.
They make happiness a prize
For only the chosen few.
May I give some advice?
Don’t ever listen to them.
They don’t wanna see you rise
They only care for your fall.
They’re pulling wool over your eyes
And making you a lost, blind fool.

Decisions

I don’t even know
What I want anymore.
Everything I used to like
Now seems like a bore.
The same question always
Lingers in my head-
What will I do
To earn my bread?
I’ll have to do something
But what will it be?
I don’t have a clue
As to what it could be.
They say you’ll know
As time goes by,
But now I have to choose…
Oh well, what have I got to lose?
There is no right answer
Since this is a trick question.
What’ll work for me
Might not for someone.
I’m not alone in this,
I know that for a fact.
But I need to decide
Before it’s too late to act…

Little Things

Playing out in the sun,
Giggling with my best friend,
Merrily dancing and having fun,
Enjoying for hours on end,
And fighting with siblings
These are the little things
That we will remember.
