Christmas 2021🎄 Is it really Christmassy?

is it just me, or the last week of the year feels a little sad?

i remember when i was thirteen, my parents would decorate a christmas tree. it made me happy.

a few chocolates, good food, few presents and what else does a thirteen-year-old want anyway.

as you grow older, the gifts you want from christmas aren't

the ones that your mom can get you in the evening. it gets tricky.

you want love. you want happiness. you want a life which is peaceful. you want compassion and understanding people around you.

can santa gift happiness to a twenty three year-old?

i know, i can't find happiness but talking to a handful of people who matter to me, receiving a few messages that light up my mood and getting a few presents for my lil sister, spending time with my family who really are never intimidated by my presence unlike others who think I'm wierd or damaged just because i Don't follow the crowd or i don't fit in their groups, penning down my thoughts at one place when I feel overwhelmed and doze off, is sufficiently close to my definition of happiness.

The older you get, you realise you have to keep things to yourself, keep your circle small and be selective of what you utter because not everyone holds your well being in their interests. Not everyone finds happiness in your happiness. You have to become absolutely okay with not being liked, because no matter how caring, loving, or kind you be, you will never be able to people please your way into collective acceptance. You can be a whole ray of sunshine and people can still hate you because they are used to rain. You have to still be Okay with shining regardless.

So, despite all the sadness surrounding, I still hope that our heart be awed by the sacred moments in the coming year

May we all be inspired by giving and changed by love.

May we all be filled with peace and touched by miracles.

May all our days be merrier, brighter and as soft as silk ✨♥️

Granny's Patchwork of Love❤️

"Your Grandmother would've been proud of you, if she were here today" This is something I often hear from my family and relatives. She passed away when I was in Grade 8 and I miss her more as I grow older because now I understand what values she imbibed in me My Grandma was a Social Science teacher and a Principal in a Government School, and my source of inspiration & guidance. She was an angel in disguise who taught me how to care. She was a spiritual person who believed in God and treated everyone with love and respect. She always said "You never know when you are interacting with an angel, so be kind and generous always". Since she passed, all I have is her fond memories, her valuable lessons & our laughs and giggles. One particular thing she asked me to take as an advice as an oxigen canister in this fast spreading virus borne world. That was -"Don’t ever let your ice cream melt while you’re counting someone else’s sprinkles.”

History isn't just about Past🤝

"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child, For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of History." - Marcus Tullius Cicero I'm often asked - What is the use or relevance of studying history? Why on earth does it matter What happened long time ago? The answer is that history is inescapable. It studies the past and legacies of past in present. Far from being a dead subject, it conmects things through time and encourages its students to take a long view of such connections. Understanding the linkage between the past and present is absolutely basic for a good understanding of the condition of being human. That, in a nutshell, is why history matters. It is not just ‘useful’, it is essential. The broad span of human experience, viewed both in depth and longitudinally over time, is the subject of history as a field of study. History enables us to contemplate the e

Hope grins on the doorway of 2022♥️

The chilly winds on my face, the little mist in the air, red nose, cold hands, mom screaming take care oh, with December, the year comes to an end, some tears some smiles, and i made one new friend. The end of this year full of ambiguities is near, bringing the time to reflect what we reared in the whole long year, other than lament and fear. A time to reflect which do's and don'ts crossed our lines & which relations grew fine. What was learnt and what was taught. What was new and what felt like draught, What engrossed within our hearts & what disappeared fast. What made us grateful & kind, What was love when cherished from distance, What was mirth when tried to express, What was gained and what was lost. Was all a part of the year just going to pass. Falling again and again with consistency, Then bringing my life into existence, I learned that this world is here to tear you, Are you enough strong to create your own space, Only then, you can embrace,
