Small Moments Matter

Life makes you learn that great lessons are hidden in small moments,
A few words in the heat of the moment hurt,
Some words of encouragement to your stressed friend,
These little things gain significance as days pass,

A few words from your mother after bad day at school,
Those hours together at school create lifelong friendships,
Those silly jokes and names created by friends,
Those game played with mates now distant memories,

A hug from your closest friend after a bad result
A kiss from your sister for the gift you gave her,
A pat on the back from Dad for your hard work,
These little shows of affection are what we miss when away,

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 ...

My Disease

My life was turned upside down when I was 4 and half years as I discovered after a blood test that I won't be able to walk slowly as years went by. My Parents decided to give me all the happiness in the world so that I won't feel let down. I loved to travel and they decided to show me every place on Earth where I could go. I have visited most corners of my Beautiful Country India. I have also been to Europe, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa even before I had completed grade 10

Letter To A Heartbroken Friend

Dear closed door heart, I know my friend how hurt you are feeling at the moment. There's not much to be found brooding over broken trust. There's not much to be found being a locked up heart too. Yes, trust is hard to earn and gain. Have you ever heard of a mountain goat that didn't want to climb a cliff just because it's hoofs were sliding all over? It kept trying until it eventually climbed up? Right? Yes, one can be a bit more circumspect about whom to trust. Yes, one can always talk a little less freely with people. I don't deny that. But, becoming an emotionless stone is never an option. Don't you forget I am still there for you. I will make sure every decision you make has my advice and approval. I will make sure you have my support when you feel wronged by someone. I will make sure you can always count on me. Your concerned friend.

My Big Loss

I lost my grandfather on the 4th of January, 2012, he was in pretty good health, till the day he died. He had had terrible asthma but, he got cured. He never had any heart problem yet he died of heart attack. He had always thought about the well being of the society and also used to lend money to the people who were in desperate need of it. That fateful day, I had lunch with him, he was absolutely fine and had some problem in his stomach but before he reached the heart specialist, he collapsed inside the car. Our whole family was shocked and to this day, my grandmother gets sentimental at the mention of his name, so do I. For a week I didn't go to school and when I went, I was completely lost, that same day, I discovered that my best friend was leav ing the s chool.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT PART 3

Another challenge for the environment is the continued disappearance of forests in Asia, Africa and South America and the continent of Australia. These forests are considered biodiversity hotspots due to the abundance of different animals and plants. These forests also house animals that are not found anywhere else in the world, for example, Lemurs of Madagascar are an ancient group of species of monkeys which aren't found anywhere else in the whole world.  Orangutans are not found anywhere else except some islands in Borneo and Sumatra, known for its distinctly orange coat, they are exceptional climbers and spend years lazily exploring trees for fruits high up from the forest floors. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest subspecies of the Tiger and is limited to the heavily forested Indonesian island of Sumatra. The forests of Northeastern Australia house some extraordinary endemic wildlife as the isolation of the continent helped these animals evolve without any predato...

I was able to walk on my toes till the age of nine, but as I came into grade five, things changed, I was no longer able to walk, my parents decided to send me to normal school and kept an helper for me, the day she found out that was no longer able to walk. I was felt left out by my classmates as they struggled to get grips of my condition.My parents had to bathe me and take care of my calls of nature. I was just able to write lesser pages, from ten pages in an hour, now I can hardly write one in the very same time. I am not able to drink water from a 500 ml bottle, I have to be fed my food.        In tenth grade, during my board examinations, I fought through severe back pain and fatigue to secure 90.66%. As I could not write exams now, I was provided with a writer so that I was able to complete my papers on time. I never let my disease grow big on me, taking it as the part of my life, and fighting back.

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...

Water

  Not so long ago, one little boy walked with his mother to search for water in the forest. They had already been walking for an hour in the burning afternoon sun. It was the month of June in India, the peak of the hot and dry summer, people are in desperate wait of the first drop of rain. Hoping drought goes away, but, sometimes, it does not, making every day a fight between life and death. One has to hunt for cattle fodder, food and water.    The little boy asked his mother, "how long do I have to walk ?" The boy was exhausted and the searing heat was sapping whatever energy he had left inside himself, yet, he plodded on, trying hard to curb his thirst, so that if they found enough water to suffice for the day he could easily get rid of it. Finally, they found a well with enough water. Slowly, his mother pulled the water up the pulley in the bucket and emptied it into the pot which she then put on her head to carry water back home where her husband was waiting...

Problems Of Eastern India Part I

India is a country with major national issues to be solved being at hand to be solved. Many of these problems are found in the mineral rich eastern parts of the country where low economic development has lead to drastic illiteracy, poverty leading to armed struggle from the tribals in the form of the Naxal movement.   The Naxalites have a huge presence in this region, controlling heavily forested areas. They  are tribals who rose up against the government in the late 1970s.The conflict goes back to the failure of implementing the 5th and 9th Schedules of the Constitution of India. These Schedules provide for limited tribal autonomy towards exploiting natural resources on their lands and land ceiling laws which limit land to be possessed by landlords, as well as distribution of excess land to landless farmers and labourers. The caste system is a big social aspect of this conflict too. The Central and State Governments have been fighting vigorously to protect innoc...
