Nepal Shaken by Earthquake which was always expected in the area

The Earthquake in Nepal had been expected by geologists doing research work there.Some parts of Eastern India and Southern Nepal are categorised as Terai region which is known to be composed of soft soil and were originally wetlands.

 The Himalayas are the second most earthquake prone regions on Earth after The Pacific Ring Of Fire a ring of 425 active volcanoes that stretches from Japan to Canada.No presence of serious seismic activity in The Himalayan Region had scientists staring open mouthed. 

 But, Mother Nature had its reply in the form of this devastating earthquake. I know its cruel for me to justify such devastation. This earthquake's inevitability struck me very hard. But, the Nepal capital's buildings had been hurriedly built and were not built to withstand earthquakes of such high intensity and authorities were caught napping in the rescue operation. May the people who died Rest In Peace.

Troubled Teens

The people who enter teenage now have very little experience of the real world. They're just too busy in the virtual world of games, social networking. Most teens prefer keeping in contact with their friends through WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Some of them find it difficult to interact verbally. The biggest advantage is that one can interact with far away cousins and friends that one made in another city. Social media applications also allow picture and video sharing. In addition, one can follow their favourite sportspersons and personalities. The trouble comes when hackers, fake page operators and cyberbullies are involved. People are liable to spending precious “me” and “family” time. A few become lost in this world and can encounter some terrible things. The case in vogue, right now is the Blue Whale game. Many people have been sucked into this suicidal game. What I really want to say is, the use of social media is good, but, excess use can reduce outdoor acti

Magical Rain

Black clouds close out the sun’s hot rays, The hot Earth waits for the cool water, It looks as if the sky sheds tears for the Earth, The time nears for Earth’s rebirth. The clouds opens the taps wetting the Earth, Seeing that all my sorrows get washed away, I look at kids running onto the street to play, The wet smell of the Earth refreshes me. Rain drives away dust and pollution cleaning air Cooling the wind & our minds too, Rain makes the surroundings magically green, Making our creativity reach heights unforeseen.

People In Your Life

All through life we meet people, Some with emotions that are fickle, Some leave memories that make you tearful, Some will leave you feeling empty and feeble, Some will push you to work harder,  They know what you're made of,  They have faith in your abilities,  Never ever let them down, Some strangers will make your heart their home,  They will make your life nothing less than paradise,  Keep them close to you and love them,  They will put their hand up when your own desert you… No one in the world knows you better than your parents,  They see to it that we never have to face the troubles they did,  Our family shares with us sad and happy moments,  When you drift off the right path you will be helped back onto it…  Never lose hope because you never walk alone…

Wait For Me Bro!

We only realize the value of our best friends only when they move apart. When they are near, we are always there with them. When they don't live in the same city, one can suddenly feel distant. But, in this age of social networking and video calling, no one is far away. I'm going to narrate you a story about friendship that defeats time and distance to endure. Aakash and Varun had lived the past ten years together. As they approached the end of school, they that their ways would part. They had shared many moments. On many occasions they helped each other out. Aakash backed Varun to play football for the school, while he himself captained the school in cricket. Many times, both endured punishments together. pMany people tried to make their friendship sour, especially the bullies. Even the rumour creating gang of girls which irritated everyone. They had never let ego come in between.They always had the back of each other. The prospect of being separated in pursuit of the

MY AMBITION

Ever since, I reached grade five, my language kept improving, and, by the time I passed out from grade ten, it had become good enough to make my ambition of becoming a writer of stories. I had always had that ability to channel my ideas easily into words.    I was always trying to express myself through words. When I was about 2 and a half, I got this problem of repeating words thrice, slowly this problem receded, but, I remained a shy speaker in my class till I reached grade ten. In the farewell, I took the emotional approach of saying goodbye to my friends by making a speech, laced with a thank you to some bullies who had made my life miserable, but, also contributed to my becoming a rock of calmness amidst all I suffered in words. I kept myself cool and showed these bullies the door out of my mind. The bullies used to strike me down by telling me about my physical frailties. But, they didn't know my mental toughness which was on display when I gave my parting speech amids

Changing People

We don't know our true friends, Out of all who claim to be true friends, Not sure whom to trust with our confidences, As everyone spreads rumours about our life. Growing up, we make loads of friends, Most of these friendships soon die of neglect, The few that remain need to be fed time, A resource in low supply and high demand, Make relations the priority not money… By the time we realize what our life is gonna be, We've already spent a small part, Don't let that realization go waste, We're all here for a while make it worth, Find happiness in simple things. Your actions speak more than your words, Choose wisely what you want to do, All of us speak good, yet, don't act good, Be true to your words, Only then can others be their true self around you. Even after achieving success we're empty inside, The race leaves the people we love behind, Sometimes they forget that people change, Or the fact that everyone is different.

Dreams & Goals

Open your eyes my dear friend, It's a new day that brings new hopes, Let's  climb the peak you want to ascend, Don't look at how steeply it slopes, The moment you do, your dream will die, You'll see bodies of those who dropped dead, Don't you look behind as you will be alone, No one accompanies you on this lonely road, The thoughts in your mind will torment you, To stop walking, to go back to your home, Your loved ones will come in dreams calling you, Don't listen to your mind until you've reached the top.

The Road To A Happy Life

O Lord! Take me for a ride, I'm in need of a guide, Who will change my life’s tide, So far it has been carried out, hobbies and interests denied, I hunt aimlessly for a life that provides happiness & fulfillment, I’ve been hunting for roads away from a world of resentment, I’ve spent years seeking cures to life’s ailment, I’m tired of people with hearts of hard cement, I don’t know whether the people I love care for me in the same way, People who seem to be innocent turn out evil someday, Being straightforward and honest is thought to be passe, If I don’t find my way then I’ll remain forever astray, I’m ready to tread on the best path through thick and thin, If the situations demand I will happily leave my kin, If need be I’ll fight the devils that ruin from within, Nobody dare block my way as I’m determined to win,

A Story From My Life

My family has done a lot of work in the field of education under the guidance of my late grandfather. Some 30 years ago, he designed the plan of a school to be built in our native town. That building used to conduct classes for boys till 10th. Now it conducts classes only upto 8th. In January 2012, after my grandfather’s demise, the school authorities called on us. They wished to conduct classes till 12th in the same compound. In February 2012, the work started and the new building was inaugurated on 31st March 2013. In the inauguration ceremony, I made a speech invoking the memory of my grandfather. The school was named in memory of my grandfather. By the month of May all the classes were operational. In the construction of this building, my father gave a lot of time and energy, but, a sterner test was yet to come. In the year 2015, the school authorities came to us with a plan to make a school for girls till 12th operational in a time of 2 years. This time the construction of the

LEADERS

Leading yourself towards your goal is easy, Leading two or more people not so, You need to become an ideal person to lead others, People like to work with those who lead from the front, Not those who throw their weight around and are lazy, These kind of people can never become leaders, Be good, honest, humble and caring to those work under you, Never back out from helping those who face difficulties,  Help, support and an amicable relationship creates leaders, An aggressive demeanour can destroy and eliminate leaders, A new approach to superior-subordinate relationship, Open minded and easy demeanour to suggestions, Leaders are those who never back down facing a challenge,  But, continue fighting till they win, They prevail over extremely challenging conditions, They light up an inspiring story in a dark world, They give hope to millions by urging them to dream, Yet they are always down to earth, Never boasting of themselves, Instead saying that the
