The moment of Curiosity and Learning :2013

When I talk about the moment of Curiosity and Learning then its literally take me to the year 2013 ...Yes ,You heard it right ...The Year 2013 when I was in my most curious state of mind because that was the year where i was appearing for my first board exam and i had lots of anxiety and curiousity going in my mind about future ..about how will i hold my life and how i will able to mould it the way i want ? But ,the most important thing was in my mind that "will i secure good marks" because the classmate i had back then were someone who would use to talk more and act less so they all had made it look like that its the cake walk for them and my mind was full of self doubt because i never felt like this and i don't think that anything is cake walk for me but anyway ....All of this sudden self doubt went away when i stood first in the that batch and the one who bragged stood nowhere ...that was my first lesson that never get carried away by someone 's pretentanious things and behaviour . This was the lesson i learnt all my observation and understanding of people because before that i would keep asking my parents about it whenever they use to talk about the behaviour patterns of human beings and their reply would always the same that you will all learn by yourself because nothing better than the correct timing to make you understand something i was like ....ok ..,Wow. ..Waiting for that time to come ,it came ,I did figured out my lesson and the next important moment of curiosity met me when I went to meet a teacher who is no more now ,(god bless him wherever he is ) for Science stream there i met him in his office alongside my father and mother . I still remember the moment and time that it was 6'0 clock in the evening and it was breezy evening where we had just come from a temple holding prasad and tika on our foreheads. I used to be very shy kid back then ...i used to be very docile and majorly introvert that i used to hide myself from people ..so one fine moment came when i was taken inside for my knowledge test for the further admission . I was like i have to look at all those textbook of class 10th again because before that i was told by the receptionist that you would be asked some serious questions to check eligibility .I prepared something serious so when i entered the room ...I met the teacher who supposed to ask serious question ,asked me to tell the correct spelling of Moon ...I was like what ? He said - yes ,you heard it right . In my mind ,I thought why people have to present themselves smart and this that serious when eventually i am going to be asked the spelling of moon, Suddenly that shy ,introvert in me became extremly confident because he told me that this is the only question i m going to ask you for the eligibility .I was on cloud nine because i thought teacher has lost his sanity . So ,I went ahead and told in very loud voice that its M double o and N .He looked at me ,then to his watch and then again looked at me and told me to state A to Z . I was like -is he really lost it ? He is really asking me to say a,b,c,d ,e ...literally ..I m going to be in class 11th and this is what i suppose to answer ...I laughed in my head . He catagorically told me - State ABCD...I stated till the end while thinking why i m not told to stop ? He said - Did you find double 0 in anywhere in A to Z . I said - No ,Then He made me understand that you said M double o and N as spelling which is highly wrong...He also said i know you must have been thinking that why i asked you this instead of i should ask you about isotopes ,Organic chemistry ,some laws of electricity etc ...but this is the extreme basic that people lack hence i asked ,have you learnt anything ?I went into thinking ....that was my moment of curiosity and the moment of learning . I went to papa and told entire thing ..He was like "you should have to take classes here " because i know that this will bring the best basics from you which people might forget the small details . I m like ,Ok Papa ,Lets go to home as i have to cycle tomorrow to come back to this to get more moment of curiosity and the learning . Hence ,Lesson learnt ...Where you think that you know something ..that moment you lack something  .

My day on stage

It was 13.12.2023 ....I woke up early in the morning because I had to write my assignment .....Usually I wake up around 7'0 clock when i have no where to go about .... When I have to go then i wake up early because its take alot for me to get out from the sleep zone and focus on to the wordly activities. ...But this morning was quite different because I had to rush to deliver my topic on the stage . I was excited so it didn't take me much to zone out from the sleep. Usually Mornings are calm for me ...I am in no speaking zone but that day my mind was constantly speaking inwards about VS Naipaul. A Diasporic Author who is known across the world for his terrific writing in fiction . I had chosen this topic to deliver on the stage while all my mates had chosen common topic among them called Train to Pakistan which i had no idea about ...when i reached there in the hall I realized that only i m delivering topic on diasporic and felt out of blue but composed myself becau

A love letter to the year 2023 💌

Its so obvious that when a year is passing then its defintely a flow of emotions ,mixed feelings of keeping something with you and the idea of letting it go gives you euphoria packed with dichotomy .      Well ,Talking about the year 2023 ,Its been a good year with lots of ups and downs in my mental and  physical state . Looking back to the start of the year ...I find how things changes and how fast the day and night changes ... Those changes really put you through some amazing experience which you want to keep close  forever because you know that whatever the experience is be it good ,bad or ugly ...you can't create it again ..Every year gives you some moments of nostalgia ,some moments that you want to repeat again  ,while some moments you never want to visit ...A reflection of year gives you insight about how you were in the start of the year and what a year changes in your inner self nd in your sorroundings . I think that life is a beautiful journey mixed with lots of good ,bag

Holi :Through years in my memory lane .

 As Holi is approaching so far ,Its tomorrow...All I m feeling at this point is nostalgia through years .....Holi is a beautiful festival of colours which i like so much about it ...I love the whole idea of having white on the body and colour spalshing all over the face and your white clothes to make it highlight that life is always beautiful in colours .Our Scriptures talk about this beautiful festival which was celebrated for its beauty and its purity which is so lost in today's world where things are materilaized only for the sake of money ...that beauty of innocence which the festival carries is faded away but all we can do is to embrace the kind of life we are getting with times  . There are many times i go in the memeory lane and think about yester year holi celebrations its fills me so much positivity and happiness and i am quite sure that many would agree with me .          Holi ,A colourful festival which is all about food ,colours ,and the people v
