The Khushi's Pen

People often say, "You don't create your rivalry, they're born for you, with you, along the day you're born." And, sometimes till my Class 10, what I always pondered on was, that same is the instance with 'me and maths'. If left aloof, in a room, we would create world history, haha; yeah, if not maths, at least, I, would have definitely done World War III with him (and to everyone's surprise, if you're thinking, why have I used 'him' instead of 'her' or 'it'. Or that am I so sure that 'Maths' is him, because subjects are 'it'. Yeah! I'm pretty sure, because 'her' understand understands 'her' and in my context only if Maths was 'her'. He would have understood that I'm over with it and not to check my tolerance on repeated circumstances.) 'Teachers I've tried countless, but all in vain; they declared, teaching mathematics to 'The Khushi' was vainless as she was ba...

'When I was five, I didn't threw dice; I fervor being aloof, yet people didn't regard me sugar and spice, Instead topped me with the cognomen of everything nice." Memories as sages of historic ages said are pristine, keep them in sync with your hymn are all those only a bygone of a passage of time? I rhyme, still its my own mind. As clear as a crystal, it's not a reminiscence if you're pondering on; a souvenir as one quotes, that's what today I embark on. Ah! I have a lot to narrate, but wait you'll not tell that all I'm doing is orate. Let me take you to my nostalgia; of a sixteen years old me, a 2003's damsel. Roads having a block like motif, yes, that's where I was born, where I dwell. 'Memories', heaped up as stocks of velum in my mind. Yet, I'll not overtly blurt out all of those. But the one's which held, holds and will always hold me to goosebumps. Yeah! People, including those in my own fambam; my clan members ...

'When words are hard to come by, a smile can work wonders.' Sometimes, I muse, I muse what's the therapy; the therapy of leading a consistent, a gaiety life. But what strikes back on my visage is a grin, yes, a grin! That's what we call 'what goes around, eventually comes back'. 'Smile' let's travel miles! Smile as an expression is a caricature of pleasure, socialibility, happiness, joy or amusement and its degree varies from individual to individual. Some people tend to show utter excitement and go nuts over it, they are those people like me ;) yes, I don't smile, I grin and to all those like me, we grin! So, lets grin on this note 😁! But we also encounter 'the smile-only' ones, they reflect their impalpable excitement in a different yet ardent and dexterous way. 😃 It's hue, it's insane! But how many of you smile a 'Duchenne Smile'? Ok, let's try one. A Duchenne Smile is a smile engaging the muscles around the mo...

'Being Hitler, an orator or a dictator?' Well, I guess try becoming an orator rather than a dictator. What do we term as 'Oratory Skills', what skills comprehend under this? An 'oratory' is well termed as a skill or eloquence in public speaking; through which an orator can move thousands to repentence with the oratory. Public speaking is an art; and, like every other art, it has to be learnt,in practical and theory. For a man to say that he will never deliver a speech until he has learnt to speak, is like saying that he will never go into the water until he has learnt to swim. One cannot learn to swim without jumping into the water, and one can never, ever learn to speak in public without 'speaking in public'. In both cases, one has to acquire materialistic gain by practice. 'Neither is a person born orator, Nor a waiter. Then who rises greater? It's the man who segregated the traitor!'

(Inspired by my true incident of today. Not reel, it's real!) (aaachoooo...) It was 8 PM, and my kinetic bumped the speed-braker. 'Oh! That was tough.', I heard the inner me. "Smog here and smog there, Oh! It was Smog everywhere." Yeah! That's the by-product of your Go green, go clean Diwali, the eco-friendly Diwali and soooo on blah! blah!! blah!!! that many of you made beforehand. But all the needles turned their course I guess, ha, it's eerie that, we, humans, cannot control! Yes, we can't, we can't control our pangs for hunger, greed for ill-breed and our cat and dog race for breadwinning. Day in and day out we lie, to ourselves, "We are the change the nation wants to see. Good Night. Let's start tomorrow (insert optimism)." And there shone the bright sun next day, your brain triggers you with stimulus of your yesternight's pinky-promise. But, after littering half-a-spoon unused fruits, we try to consolidate ourselves (that ...

"Education a blessing in disguise, Is its digitization wise?" 'What is education to us?' In a layman language 'Education is the methodology of procuring knowledge.' But in this era of techno-superiority, is modern education the same? The retortment to this is, 'NO! it isn't, it is digitalizing every minute, every hour, every day.' Today's posterity has availed a luxurious combat; a set of all facilities before-handedly. Due to which 'Computer' is an integral ingredient of the modern day cuisine 'Education'. There is a cat and dog race admist people from various walks of society to procure the best knowledge. Consequently; this has regarded Internet as the 'pioneer of education'. From learning to make a tea or ranging to fly an aircraft; why panic? Internet will sprinkle magic! India is pacing speedily on the highway to education with now possessing its own Education Satellite and even possessing an in...

 "Thunder! Climate change casts its blunder, What 'folks' its no more a hoax; Alarming weather as clever as a fox." 'Climate Change' implies to a long-term shift in global or regional climate patterns. According to a study, we are on such an alarming state that by the end of 2020, the climate of India would be the highest amongst all the countries of the world. Melting of polar caps, untimely weather fluctuations, extremeties in each type of climate (be it summer, winter, monsoon) are all a by-product of this catastrophic climatic change. According to Newton's third law of motion, "Every action has an equal and an opposite reaction." Similar, is the instance here, the human action of reckless felling of trees, forest fires etc. has lead to the reaction of various hazardous and poisonous gases (methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide etc.) as a by product which catalyses our Ozone layer and has caus...

A deep dive into your pesonality reveals you your glaze and grey girds. A personality inculcated in you, or a personality developed by you. Which nerve will you opt? Obviously, for most of us, a self-developed personality. Because that's what 'personality' in true sense means. Splitting it up into 'personal+ity' is the entity one possess about oneself in person. And wikily, the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual's distinctive character. Being a psychology experimentee; for me, personality is a psychodamic to new stories, in varied people. It is what steers the true aesthetic parameters of any personality. Just as William Wundt's 'structuralism' is a method of interpretation and analysis of aspects of human cognition, behaviour, culture, and experience, which focuses on relationships of contrast between elements in a conceptual system. Quite similar is the instance with human behaviour. If asked, I'd define human b...

Dicing today the very commonly heard proverb 'out of sight, out of mind'. What exactly does this proverb stands for, enroots within itself various says; varying from psychologist to psychologist, person to person and society to society. Merely, it implies to people's tendency to forgive and forget. We, people, tend to remember certain jejune things only till it stumbles out of our CPU's. An object or a person when resides in an arena of an individual, it is then only he or she is being observed or noticed at. Once, it circulates itself to the end dimensions of that restricted arena, the observer tends to nullify that object and its pre-existence dooms. It's a human tendency, that is basically, psycho-related and co-relates within itself various aspects, including the sixth sense (or rather call it, not so active sense i.e. the dormant one). Remembering power of any individual varies, it depends on the parameters of: concentration, diversion or distraction by soci...

Somewhere in 90's...... Mary: (*shhhhhh.....*) Slow down, Agatha. They'll hear us. Can't you just whisper? Agatha: Holy Jesus! It just stumbled out of my mind that we're bunking! Somewhere in 20's...... (A hault at the railway station....waiting... two ladies engrossed in a chit-chat) (Soon...lights off, wild laughing, sounds in the background include; Really!, Hahaha!, Exactly what we did!) (boarding the train, Agatha and Mary.) 12.36 p.m., Saturday, August 24, 2019 AGATHA: Hey! You caught hold of my personal blog? (snapping) leave it, it's...it's nothing, ya absolutely nothing: just sort of hinderence, I guess! By the way, who are you? Following me? Throughout my journey since the train; something's fishy with you, I. guess! MARY: Ah! Alas. That's...

We all at one point or the other may have for sure heard our buddies, saying typically as; 'Maine tughe friendzone kar diya.' The question which now arises is; 'What exactly is this deca-llyble FRIENDZONE?' Don't haunt up your wiktionaries or dictionaries; as 'friendzone' is no such recognized word. It's just an impurity of being 'just friends' and 'more than just friends'! Accounting Friendship Day, today; is I guess, a spicy instance for me where I can express my perspective about the day! 'A corollary pouring in trust, Indeed is a must! A bond ought not to be broken, With love still left unspoken. Raise a toast, until it frosts; This bond shall never criss-cross!' 'Friendzone' is nothing except being with your best of pals, and parting with them all your so called; 'forbidden secrets'. It's more than having just a friend, it'...

'Books are what best friends can never be.' On this note, hey pals, amigos and buddies... hope you're munching on the snack-bite and pouring onto love for new books. Scrapping the mere beginning, the conundrum which strikes my head, the right hour is; 'What are books for you, for most of the people, for a mere layman?' I'm surely not rhyming or tuning today for the bond of this love possess no rhymes, no hyms. Books for a many people are just stack of vellums bounded together in a form of hard copy. But, I deem, how? How can one even deduce it even in the eeriest nightmare? Books, for a *typical literature lover*, (not a bookworm, for sure) like me, are indeed 'a blessing in disguise'. A weapon, if exposed; will surely conquer the world, the world of literature, battlegrounds and the illusionistic likeness of books for many people. Grab a copy of your delight today, treat yourself with a book everyday. Enter this world, for I'm sure you'll...

Monsoon (/mɒnˈsuːn/) no less than a rejoice, a boon, witnessing seasonal reversing winds accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation. 'Thundering echoes cables, Like missiles in fables. Alienation rapidly fingering footsteps, Fams thriving at doorsteps, A hurricane season, Torn pages, a journal is only the reason; Transisted into a rhyme, Now is what the soul says mine; Being all calm and hymn.' Sprinkling and pouring on from July, monsoons shower the next three consecutive months. Rejuvenating and pouring in vitality to all the organisms, proving itself ultimately a 'blessing in disguise'. Monsoons play a significant role in ripening of fodder crops: jowar, bajra, paddy, rice, maize, sugar cane and a lot many drain! As very well said, 'Excess of everything is bad.' It's a DRUG! Similar is the instance with Monsoons, even their excess shower...

"Reside in a particular arena, stuck your shoes to home." Wonder if that's implemented on you? In an era of springing speed, who cares to cease a moment or two even, that their imagination would haunt them about the mere thought of our society growing polarized day in and day out. If I say, 'As a snack, let us consume it', would definitely not be okay! For me, for you, for all the dwellers dwelling in the doomed building. Diverting not from the crux, reverting back to it. I've a conundrum for you, 'What is a polarized society actually?' A new locution for many, I muse. In a layman language, a Polarized society is a society nerves into various arteries. Polarized society if linked with the segregation within a society branching from income inequality, economic displacements and fluctuations; doesn't provide it a wrong comprehend, instead clears the clutter prohibiting the minds to bend. To quote is to promote; on this note, I pen; 'Consid...

'The land confluncing five rivers, The state from rest all which differs. Enshrined with the Golden Temple holy, Dwells in various exuberant molly.' Punjab, a state bordering Pakistan, is the heart of Indian community. The word 'Punjab' has its origin from the deep roots of a compound of two Persian words, panj (five) and āb (water), thus signifying the land of five rivers (the Beas, Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej). The word’s origin can perhaps be traced to 'panchananda', Sanskrit for “five rivers”. Apart from their daily hustle and bustle, the residers of Punjab are engaged in the primary sector, which accounts for a predominant segment of the state’s gross product. Punjab produces a vital portion of India’s food grain and contributes a major part of its wheat and rice. The agricultural advancements and productivity of the state is attributable to Green Revolution which has its standstill even now. Ba...

'Be an Iron, Conquer all the trenchant siren!' Fitness(/ˈfɪtnəs/) in its savoury sense, is an essence; neither does it implies being merely lean and addressing one to be 'perfectly fit' nor being a couch potato, obese one and referring thy body to be 'felicitous'. Despite these contradictory thoughts, fitness crowns one's ability to be apt in order to fulfil a particular task or a compiled role. 'From pre-assurance to muscle endurance; fitness is what boosts up vitality and ensures vigorous reassurance.' Then why stake your health? I quote, 'If POTENT is to MONEY; OMNIPOTENT is to HEALTH!' Blazing out money or smoking out your shillers, YES, your chillers! You think will lend you butterflow life? You're saved! The ball is still in your pocket, because the only retortment, be it pinching or munching to you, but the bitter truth is 'NO', 'NEIN', 'NAHI', 'NII' (*it's crucial to understand and im...

'Expressions' widely termed as 'Caricatures', are the flaws, as a layman must quote or boons to bring forth an introvert and also an extrovert's trail of thoughts. 'As RAINBOW is to hues of colours, EXPRESSIONS are to hues of varied. emotions, one may possess.' Expressions according to Sign Language, are the postures of the face and body that contribute to the formation of words when dramatising. They are a part of non-verbal language, each person possess. But the main artery which distinguishes them in person to person is the 'intensity' or the 'responds', to which each individual reacts, responds and deals with a particular situation in its own unique method. 'Twisting faces without any art is eerie, Moulding art into faces are idiomatic.' Expressions, if rightly said; are those weapons which can either help you conquer or leave you morose pondering on what has just occur! Simplifing, they can either b...

Lamenting on how 'boring' the niche I'm writing in is, take heart, chill-pill, an iced drink and loosen the spirits out, pour paisley in your perennial thoughts. Dive into content, folks! 'The night sky is how I wished to fly.' At times, I felt as if I could feel it tremoring, whispering a caccophony the ears cannot bear to hear. Considering the polar pole, I felt it a hail-fellow when the world felt so devoid of 'love'. Stars poured into sky like pale corn into freshly turned ground. It was the vow of life in darkness, a sense of warmth springing from haze in absolute amaze! It was vastness to bring humbleness and an eternal space to bring gratitude for coziness. No matter years that lingered, night sky still winged! As night fell blue haze of the day lift to reveal stars. I pondered, if we were nocturnal would we be more connected to the sky scraping stars? Perhaps sensing the fragilty of Earth, night's rolling down of curtains! Stars shone as su...

'To err is to human...' is a precise proverb pinning in itself all the blunders and ideals of 'ERRs', a man can commit. A layman's explanation may surely crown the word as 'MISTAKES', but that's what's the crux, to graze apart, not apar the herd. According to Albert Einstein, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” This is indeed realistic. A child learns to walk after commiting several err's in the course of learning. It is obvious that an innovation is only possible after the application of trial and error method. Indeed, what we can say is; 'Making mistakes is a portal of discovery'. What you sow, is what you reap, isn't it true? It is, of course in all spheres, in all perspectives. Similar is the instance with 'MISTAKES'. What's once committed, can't be omitted. People now-a-days feel immense pride in outraging their inkhorn knowledge. It's no harm terming 'Mistakes as a pit...

'Reading is what awakens and brightens lost spirits, love and essence in one's milieu.' And to this sumptuous cake, you add icing! No... cease I'm neither being melodic nor rhyming today. And do you know, the clandestine behind it? Ponder....atleast. Ohk! I guess, I'll add some ingredients. It's because you compose the very best one may not wish but love to read to.... and the other top secret ....shhhhhh.........to this is you've made me go nuts with your pen... the way you compose, the way you forecast, the way you melodize is really awe-taking. Also, I pen don't take this as a *buttering*, as I'm not an apple-polishing person. So, you can crack upon this, ya this was *hilarious*, wasn't it? It was a scorching day, the sun was blazing heat. Haha! It will never have mercy on us. Jokes apart, I was rambling down the school garden during the break time and you know this is the tenure where school memories are created. You must be musing, I must ...

'Examinations are integral for the nation, Mugging up for them is a much irritation. Valuing grades has became a trend, a fashion! Indian Society still values grades after all the detentions.' Exam burden, peer pressure and pal promotions have burdened children with pounds of baggage about teasing, inferiority and complexity in the adverse society. 'To invent is to invest' and today's high- tech modern era has witnessed a Big Bang cat and dog race amongst the people from various walks of the society materalizing 'GRADES'. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) should draft an 'out of the box' learning pattern for budding posterity. As an 'Identity Card' of a person doesn't reveal his dark or bright side, same is the case with 'Report Card': a mere piece of fine paper cannot depict a person and his true inner potential. It is all because our society glorifies grades more than knowledge. To this, I pen, "Memor...

Cooking up a solid story is easy if you possess the right ingredients! Break some thoughts into a cup, create some characters, sprinkle with stops, cream with capital letters, and glaze with glorious and jolly endings. If the testament of the pudding is in the tasting, then the book should be made preferring scrumptious reading! To immitate is to initate! Proceeding further with the kick-start of the story, we not only cook but require ingrediants of poetry, personification, literary that will serve to the setting of the story not to the merry endings.... Putty people are altered. Pebble people remain the same. They’re like set pieces. They appear onstage in the story, but don’t change in essential ways as the story progresses. They remain the same in the ending as they were during the beginning. 'Can Saltiness, Sweetness and Tanginess go hand in hand?' Ponder... Ohk! I'll lend you some thoughts. The retortment to this lies deep buried 'YES' they go, can go a...

"Climate change doesn't respect border; it doesn't respect who you are- rich or poor, small or big. Therefore, it's what we quote 'global challenges', which require global solidarity." INTRODUCTION Its no doubt countries are failing to take the action needed to stave off the worst effects of drastic climatic change. Climate Change is a deafening issue of the modern era and we are at a dilemmic moment. From altering weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that boosts the menace of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are globular in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action, adapting to these impacts in the near future will be extremely arduous and costly for the posterity. CAUSES 1. Greenhouse gases; Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrogen Dioxide etc. occur naturally and are essential to the survival of humans and millions...

The Bhagavadgītā is a bag of divine words emanating from the lips of God. A rosary of it in itself imparts divine preachings. As a scripture, it embodies the supreme spiritual mystery and clandestine virtues of the world. The book exhibits a new facet to the mindset of the people. If quoted 'The Gītā is an epitome of all the scriptures', there is no harm in it. Indeed, it is the essence of Vedás, Scriptures and holy texts embodied to compose the very body. The journey of life is considered myriad only when we imply the theoretical into practical. I quote, "Just you wait, a myriad of opportunities, lie ahead yet waiting to be unearthed. Trust your journey!" Lies in us, 'The Soul', which is unborn, eternal, everlasting and primeval; even though the body is slain, the soul is not. The soul, is life, but an embodied soul is what weapons cannot cut nor fire can burn; water cannot wet nor wind can dry. The soul which defeats the 'forces of nature' is the...

'The age where people wish to wander shrine, Now shread tears of brine. Yell at their own sublime, Can you still not afford a penny's time? Oh! pety mines, I grew you up with all my trines. Cease! Until you reach the very ease...' The elderly population in India is continuously blooming and also the problems faced by these people are increasing simultaneously. The number of people in old age homes is constantly increasing and also most of the parents are now deciding to live in an old age home rather than living with their children. Is'nt it strange? Of course, it is. Nowadays these people are becoming a prey to the predators. The predators like: lack of care, emotional support and economic support from the family etc. Our culture recognizes the status of the parents as that of God. We tend to have houses but lack homes, we protest having a family but the syllable 'fam' is still missing; what to do with the only 'ily', that's the r...

"'Youth': the hallmark of a democracy, One which is nation's praise-worthy. It's yallacrack will yield a folk, Yet arousing sun is still in a hulk." "As brick is to building; youth is to Yorkshire." 'NEVER' (or ever as folks sattire); smoke. A cigar or a cigarette is not mere a small roll of paper that is filled with cut tobacco and smoked. It is an evil in disguise. An omen, if prevailed can kill a person from within. 'Lungs' or purifiers, after its inhalation become gunnies of jute! Yeah! Don't believe me? Haunt up your search engines. The pictures in collective scrutiny depicts, the collapsing and weakening youth power of the country. Despite, availing those countless of opportunities at the golden door, youth; these days have merely become a lingersome and hunks of a fugitive personality. A deep dive in their grey grids may reveal the bona fide essence of it. 'ERASE'. "Start with your f...
