Made a New Friend 

Today is the perfect day to stay at home and read a good book. Cool post rain breezes blow through my window in this lazy afternoon. 

My companion on this great day is “Like the Flowing River” by Paulo Coelho. Which is a collection of short stories and articles by the author.  The one that got me the most though, was “Pianist in the Mall. ” 

A short summary – One day Paulo Coelho and his friend, an international violinist, were walking in a mall, where they came across a pianist. Who was playing a piece by Mozart, devoid of all those around him, completely lost in ecstasy. Even though no one was watching him, he was playing so beautifully, they both had tears in their eyes.

The pianist taught me a very important lesson:- To always give our best, devoid of all other people’s opinions and circumstances.

Gender Bias in My Village

As you know I am in my hometown in Uttar Pradesh. I want to address an issue which I have noticed while walking in my village. Anybody coming over here after staying in a metropolis or a city will clearly notice that the ratio of boys to girls on the streets is too abstract. 

This is one of the major reasons for violence on women. The number of men and women should be equal on the streets so no gender will be at a disadvantage. If there is a healthy and equal ratio on streets, crime rate will reduce automatically. I personally believe if family members restrict sending the women out they should do the same to men too . 

It should be equal right? What is your take on this? Do you think I am right or wrong? Please tell me in the comment section below.

Redesigned My website!

Hello everyone, I know I am writing after a long time but you see I had my board exams last month. Like always I prepared the entire course last minute, so as one can guess, I was in a bit of a time crunch😖( ok, a lot of time crunch).

Anyways, I came to my nani’s house as soon as my exams finished. Over here have been working really hard on redesigning the website, as you probably noticed. Yes, it took almost twenty days, I will admit it was harder than I thought. 

Do you like it? My aim is to make it more interactive, efficient, and elegant. Please also tell me any suggestions you might have. Don’t forget to stay tuned for fun and engaging content.

Arrival Day 1 

Ho, Finally landed, what a feeling! In the airport there was a slight confusion with the luggage belt. 

My aunt, my cousin, and grandpa have come to pick me up. While leaving we were in a hurry, to save the parking fine of 90 inr, but alas we were one minute past the deadline☹️( the queue itself was 2 mins long). While going home what caught my attention was the excellent quality of roads- very clean and big, but the traffic was very rash. There must have been countless times in our stay that we were almost hit. 

The major attraction that came our way was the Sabarmati Riverfront. When the Sabarmati river had started drying up, the government had diverted the water from the Narmada river. They also built parks and a walking track of 10 kms(!) on both the banks. 

After reaching home, I was overjoyed to meet my grandma. Later, she cooked methi ke parathe for all of us . 

In the evening both my aunts, uncle, and cousins went together to Riverfront Flower Park, which is a huge garden the government has developed near Sabarmati Riverfront. It looked even more beautiful and wonderful in springtime. 

There were many places to sit, and a small play area for children. There was even a lotus pond, it had many ducks and fishes in it. 

Later when we went home, we were thinking of stopping, for some street food. But Reyansh, my cousin, was sick. It wasn’t a bad decision though: my grandma had prepared amazing food and the entire family had dinner together. After finishing, nobody was in a mood to sleep, so we all stayed up till 4:30 am, talking!
