The Beauty of Friendship

It’s Friendship Day today. It’s a day when friends show that they really care for each other. That they will always be there for them, no matter what happens. Friendship is an emotion which cannot be expressed in words. This is the beauty of friendship. On this day, friends tie ‘friendship bands’ on each other’s wrists as a mark of their friendship. It is a gesture of their affection and concern. True friends can just look at each other and their words will be conveyed. Only a true friend can console another when nobody else can, understand the other’s feelings. A true friend will celebrate in his pal’s victories, give words of encouragement in his failures. There is not a trace of jealously in true friendship. It is a pure emotion which comes straight from the heart. There are many things which are spoken of only amongst friends. Friendship is a golden thread which bonds many people. When we look back upon the years, we will not remember our academic results but we will definitely recall the sweet memories and happy times spent with friends. Friendship had no bounds and restrictions. It is timeless. Our childhood pals often remain in our circle of friends even after the passage of many years. Reunions are some of the most joyous times in one’s life. One should have at least one true friend whom we can depend on even with our own life.

Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe called life!! The more friends we have, the more joyous our lives will be!

Colour.

Colour breathes joy and life into every creation, whether ancient or modern. Skin tones progress from palest white and dusky wheat to darkest ebony. In the words of Rupi Kaur – ‘It is a blessing to be The colour of the Earth How often must Flowers confuse me for Home.’ A prism splits light into all of its magnificence. Stained glass windows in high-ceilinged churches make light dance across the polished wooden floor. The sun sets over the horizon and plunges within cerulean seas and oceans. Left in its wake are splashes of colour; crimson, orange and golden, skipping across the waves, cruising along the blue surf. Inky stains bleed across the sky as twilight approaches. The advent of velvety indigo, purple and black symbolize them regaining their nightly territory and thus ensues a clash of colour- a real-life watercolour over the ocean. Night tiptoes stealthily and the crescent moon glides, her creamy gossamer gown trailing and dipping into the water. It has floate...

When I Contemplate

The camera attempts to capture a moment- a fleeting second in the swirling whirlpools of time. It captures that moment and immortalizes it, framing it in eternity. Days may pass, years and even decades, but that picture will hang on the wall, making you travel back in time involuntarily. Suddenly, you will be thrust back in time and will feel as if you’re actually witnessing that moment all over again, like you did, all those years ago. It is, as if, no time has elapsed between then and now. Perhaps, that feeling is transient, but you cannot deny it. The camera captures what the mind perceives, what the eye sees. It enables us to hold on to the image formed by the thousands of electric impulses that zoomed from the optic nerve to the brain at that second. But, more often than not, we associate many moments with an emotion. Looking at the vast, all-encompassing cerulean ocean or the towering trees in a forest, I feel an unexplainable calm and peace. I question my existe...

Holiday Diaries: BANDHAVGARH! #2 The Journey To An Exotic Forest!

The Diwali vacations were round the corner and I was excited to go on holiday! Though, our school spared not even a week for us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves, we children (and teachers) were still looking forward to this much-needed break from varying degrees of stress in our lives. My family was in the process of finalising a holiday destination and were debating upon whether we should go to Delhi. I; for one, was thrilled! I had been wanting to visit the capital for some time now, so when the topic of vacationing arose, I was the first to pipe up and suggest Delhi. Seeing the various, stunning monuments would have been enjoyable as well as an excellent learning experience! However, much to my disappointment, we collectively agreed to the cancellation due to the terrible pollution (which can already be observed and felt), but which would increase during Diwali. My father told us that he'd booked tickets for our stay in Jabalpur and Bandhavgarh. I'll admit it: when I first h...
