BOARD EXAMS!!!!!!!!

Boards I'm sure reading this word brings a lot of thoughts in everyone's mind. Just the mention of this word itself can bring back all the nervousness, tension, anxiety, determination and for some, even fun memories of those days. The board exams are not just made memorable with the studies and results, but also by the non-stop study! study! dialogues of all our surrounding people.

With the beginning of the class 10/12 season, begins a phase of our life during which our most frequently heard sentence becomes "Padh lo, boards mein fail ho jaaoge." From school to home to any social gathering,all anyone has got to talk about is your board exams. Teachers teach less and scare more. Every other person keeps telling us "study, this time won't come back." And this is exactly what my point is.

This time of our life is never going to come back. I know that studying and getting good marks is pretty important so as to attain success in our future but that is not everything. We also need to create memories that would later bring a smile on our face when we are too bugged up with our tensions. This is also the time to make friends who would stand with us through our thick and thin. Why are these things so hard to understand for our parents and teachers?

My dear parents and teachers, please just Chilll. Relax, these exams aren't the end of the world. I don't deny that scoring grades is important but don't forget that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. There is absolutely no need to be so hard on us and on yourselves. Let us have fun and enjoy these beautiful years of our lives. Taking stress and thinking about the results will do nothing but give you a headache but no good outcomes. So stay calm and cool it up.

Jo gaya ho gaya, jo aayega dekha jaayega.
Na dur kisi manzil mein, na aane waale kal mein.
Saare jahan ki saari khushi hai, yahan abhi issi pal mein.

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

The Evolving Lyrics of Life

I often say music is the sound of the soul and basically equivalent to oxygen for me. I know it sounds like a cliché but hear me out. All my life, starting from as early as I can remember, music has been my constant companion: in my joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, greetings and losses, it has been an integral part of almost all of my core memories. It inspires me, holds my hand when I am alone and even makes me make sense of my complicated emotions when I am unable to. Something similar happened a couple days ago and I want to talk about it.   Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai wo mushkil se. Aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wo hi sabse haseen hai. Uss haath ko tum thaam lo, wo meharban kal ho na ho I am sure a majority of you have heard these lines many times and we all have our own interpretations of them, I did too. My understanding of these lines emphasized how we should embrace the love that walks into our lives and hold on to it as it is a rare thing to find but also, we m...

My 2024 Wrapped

  I have contemplated writing this post, wondering if I am really in a mood to travel back down the memory lane and explore the year I had. But here I am, reflecting on what all went down in the last year, just as a way for myself to document my journey through the chaos. I started 2024 in a not so good mood, with dealing  emotions that were just too heavy to be explained in words or even understood, from feeling lost and alone to at the same time feeling guilty about letting down the people who cared for me, it was a complicated beginning. Then came a happy moment when I attended my first ever concert, something I desperately wanted to do. On the work front, I continued my MPhil journey, learning things I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do and finding ways to accomplish my goals in ways that were interesting to say the least. Feelings of being overwhelmed and not doing enough for my goals were a near constant, often to the point of being counterproductive. I learn...
