The temperature dips downward day by day.
It feels like the start of a new chapter,
But I'm stuck watching reruns, hitting replay.

Nature is a scaredy cat
Nature is a scaredy cat Which jumps in fright on seeing a plastic bag, And gets sick when we use things it dislikes Once or twice or 7 billion times.
Garden in Bloom
I envy those who are lucky enough to have their own garden or lawn or any patch of land they can call their own. Endless possibilities await the yard. Will it become a picnic spot? Or perhaps a trampoline will cover it up? Maybe a fountain will adorn it? But the best use of any such space, in my eyes, is a blooming nursery.
Rows and rows of rose, jasmine, hibiscus embedded in the ground, sweet smells in the air, leaves rustling in the wind, birds chirping with joy- for a moment it feels like nature has engulfed you.

My trip to Ranthambore
When someone hears the word ‘Ranthambore’ an image of fierce tigers pops up in their mind. And rightly so, the best chance of you seeing the big cats is here. But that’s not all that this town has to offer. Though our national animal is the main attraction, there are plenty of other beautiful wildlife to observe there. On my trip to this wonderland with my family, I went on 2 safaris- a river safari and a forest safari.

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 Sky
The sky is blue Oh! What a wonderful hue; It soothes your eyes, And stops all the sighs. It reminds us of the sea You will surely agree; With clouds strewn across Like stones covered with moss. It’ll make you feel cheery I guarantee you won’t feel weary; It can make an ordinary man Want to fly like a superman. So whenever you feel sad And want to cry like mad; Just look up at the sky! Just look up at the sky!

Do Something
The clock is ticking,
Time’s slowly slipping,
Disaster’s at the door,
I can’t take it anymore.
The world is changing, Mother Earth’s raging, She’s going to die While we idle by.
We have to do something, It’s better than nothing. We can’t stand The destruction of our land.

Fight For Clean Air
People coughing. Children choking. Pollution everywhere
Not a breath of clean air !
In a few years – I swear
We’ll be gone!
Who will atone for our sins?
