The Uniqueness of this festival





The Uniqueness of this festival

Oh, this festive is a symbol of happiness,

It prepares our hearts to rejoice over the birth of newborn Jesus,
So many albums on Christmas, so many new releases from last Christmas to Pentatonix's unique carols,
From decorating the house to deciding the theme of the crib,
Every aspect of this festival will make you euphoric,
The presence of Christmas is what makes December everyone's favorite,
And in November all everyone does is for December wait,
Sweets are everyone's  treat
At this festival, all the family members near far together meet,
Secret Santa is the new trend,
Makes even the adults each other's Santa friend
Santa Claus for children brings the gift,
Bells of the Carol ring
Mistletoe blesses the lovebirds,
Kindness to humanity is what this festival serves
It brings together the people from different religions and so I say it unites,
And with all the bad vibes it fights
Winter just adds to the whole ambiance,
Tis the c-son everyone gives us every year whole new experience.

Street Art - The Voice of Mumbai's Urbanity

“Art imitates life.”  Art is a mirror showing the beautiful and grotesque face of our world. Through time, all forms of art have been windows into social structures, lifestyles, and beliefs of civilizations. Transformative art has evolved over centuries as the voice of people of their times, inspiring change from a shift in social norms to war revolutions.  ["Humanity" at Sassoon Docks. Photo Credit: Special Arrangement, The Hindu] A tedious train ride in the mornings, the stationary traffic in the evenings, in the gray monotonous life of Mumbai, some days my eyes find the gorgeous colors on mossy walls and railway bridges, across old complexes and abandoned warehouses. The Street Art of Mumbai - present everywhere, unnoticed yet leaving its mark.   From the cultural abundance of the city we inhabit to the push for human rights and protest against climate change, from promoting harmony to lauding the unsung heroes, street art does more than beautify the concrete forest we...

We Begin…

  What does a fresh page smell like? Hope, maybe.  Anxiety too, with a dash of curiosity. Maybe, it smells like manifestation, like something quietly waiting to become real. What’s the weight of a new beginning? Heavier than it looks.  The page isn't blank; it's crinkled by the past.  Legacies. Lessons. Quiet scars. Loud dreams.  It holds the pressure of making a point, of continuing something that mattered, even if no one claps. Of daring to start again. As we step into the unknowns of tomorrow, we pause. To reflect. To remember. To ask: what does this beginning mean to us? New beginnings are overwhelming. There’s just so much I want to do, so many ways to go about chasing these dreams, and it’s like there’s too much inside me all at once. Too many ideas crashing into each other. Then there is the fear, this nagging fear that it’ll all just turn into a mush, like upma.  What if everything goes wrong? What if I try and fall flat? How do I look peo...

The Festival of Lights under a Different Light

Diwali. The festival of lights. Whether intended or not, we all have developed a connection to this festival, something we look forward to. It’s a time where everything is a little brighter, whether it’s the sweets flooding in, family coming together, that childhood album you forgot about that shows up during Diwali cleaning or at least the long-awaited vacation to finally execute all your plans. It’s celebrated across religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Newar Buddhism, though associated with different stories and practices. All in all, however, this festival signifies the victory of the light over darkness; Good over evil; Knowledge over  ignorance.       (Credits: htoindia.com)   However, many interconnections, stories and even scientific and historical significances are attached to this festival that we must not overlook. For example, different people interpret Diwali as the victory of good over evil for several reasons. The popular legend talks ab...
