Chocolate box - Poem

  I’ll take the dews on the morning leaves And drop them on my eyes And look at myself as they trickle down As if with genuineness the crocodile cries. When the lachrymose glands fail, Before the contents of my heart fade, I’ll put all my sorrows into a chocolate box And gift it to all my friends. I’ll take the fire that lights the cave And swallow it whole And carefully spit out the flames Like a pitiful dragon with a flickering core. When the adrenaline fails Before the contents of my smoke fade I’ll put my anger on a charcoal grill For all of you to see. I’ll take the clouds filled with humid ambiguity And put it in my brain And feel it run against my skull And feel something, anything, without vain. When my rationality fails, Before my inner vision fades, I’ll take my doubts out of my head And hope to share it with you. --------------------------------------- Sometimes people fake emotions and vulnerability, sometimes for attention, but also, sometimes ...

Do we let them take it easy? - My writeup concerning the exposure of CBSE's flaws.

 Governments all around the world had made mistakes, with varying levels. Different schemes had had flaws that could be patched. The first step any government could do is to take accountability. But in the case of our government, that’s not necessary. Let’s just let people die instead. This is not an exaggeration. Students have committed suicide over despair due to exam paper leaks. Heartbreaking notes saying “Sorry mom and dad”. Their mistake: relying on an education system like this. But apparently that mistake is allowed to cost them their lives. Yeah, let us not take accountability. Sonam Wangchuk, an Indian engineer and activist, an ally, and a reminder that this call for reform goes beyond any sort of teen rebellion. During the time of me writing this, he is undergoing a fast unto death for this change. It’s been 16 days, and he is approaching death with every passing second. But no, let him die, like a Gandhiji wannabe in vain. Let us keep our eyes closed so we can only see ...

Breaking the Social Norms for the Aged

Hello everyone, and welcome to another article form Comic Chronicles. At the time of writing this article, the year is 2023, and we are living in Gen Alpha. When we compare our current generation to the previous generation, we will be able to notice that our current society has much less social barriers, and we are under less expectations from society as a whole. Who knows, maybe in there future generations, more an more barriers of social expectations may be eradicated! However, there is one generation that we must consider: The generation of our grandparents.  I will use two poems to further explain this interesting topic, which are 'Grandma Climbs a Tree' by Ruskin Bond, and 'My Grandma' by Victoria Cornwall. The former of the two narrates poetically the story of the poet's grandmother, who is a young-spirited woman who loved to climb trees. However, she is viewed as peculiar and adamant by her family members and others. Eventually, she receives an opportunity to...

My Way of Celebrating: How I like to Celebrate any Achievement in my Life

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to another write-up from Comic Chronicles! Today I write an article on how I like to celebrate any achievement in my life. There are people (Most people, if I am not wrong) who love throwing big celebrations. In fact, I heard stories of people throwing parties for simple things like meeting a deadline! However, I am an introvert, and am not really a big fan of celebrations. Instead, whenever I achieve something, I usually just give myself the day off, or some time off if there are other things to do, that is, if my parents would allow me, of course! For example, if I achieved something great, my parents would allow us to, say, go to a fast food restaurant of my choice, or allow me to do whatever I want, such as slacking off with YouTube! You see, this is the reward I like to give myself for working hard; Giving myself time to do whatever I want, that I didn't get time to do while preparing or working on the task, or preparing for a competitive exam of s...

Star Achiever - Two of the greatest accomplishments I've ever done

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to another episode of Comic Chronicles! Today I talk a bit about myself, as I write on two of the greatest achievements that I ever made, and that I still am proud of. 1. First Spelling Bee Victory: Almost every year, I have participated in spelling bees. For those of you who don't know what a spelling bee is, it's a competition where we try our best to spell large words. However, in t spelling bee at my location, we have more advanced stuff such as synonyms and antonyms ,definitions, and even unjumbling words. It is actually a lot harder than the part where you just spell. However, when I was in 6th grade, I finally managed to get my first win in spelling bee. This was because that year, I decided to put my maximum effort into it, learn new words from the dictionary every day, learn its synonyms and antonyms... The test was conducted online individually, because of the COVID-19 restrictions. I did so good, that the invigilator actually suspected me...

The Land of the Rising Sun: Why Japan is a Dream Place for Me

Image
 Hello Everyone, and welcome to another episode of Comic Chronicles. Today I decided to write something regarding the topic of travel, as I share with you about my dream tourist destination, the one and only Land of the Rising Sun, the breath-taking island nation of Japan, and why I want to visit the place. Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun. Credit:  Depositphotos First, let me share some facts about Japan. Japan is an island nation in Asia, neighbouring China and both the Koreas, as well as the northern (Siberian) region of Russia. It is 377,970 sq. km (145,935 sq. mi), smaller than the U.S. State of California! Japan is referred to by its citizens in Japanese as Nippon or Nihon (日本), meaning 'Sun's Origin'. Japan is also nicknamed 'Land of the Rising Sun'. Both of these names are due to the fact that the Japanese believed that Japan was the land that the very first sunrays shone on. Japan has the world's most populous city (Tokyo), the world's largest fish...

Health is Wealth, but Not only Physical: Exploring the different types of health and why they are all Important

Image
Credits:  iStock  Hello Everyone, and welcome to another post from Comic Chronicles! Today, we talk about one of the most important topics, especially in the current world, something that not many people consider, but is something we should all be grateful for and help develop; I'm talking about health. You might have heard the saying, "Health is Wealth". This statement, in my opinion, cannot get any more true. You may not know it, but health can have a great influence on our lives. Therefore, our good health is one of the greatest assets we can ever possess, and we should be grateful for it.  Now, there are different kinds of health, all of which we should appreciate to the greatest extent, as all these kinds of health influence our lives individually. Also, all these kinds of health are interlinked, and an imbalance in one aspect of the body can affect another. The different types of health include: Physical Health: Obviously, you may know about this more than the other...

Persuading the hard way: Activism and Why It's not Detrimental

Image
 Hello, and welcome to another article from the Comic Chronicles! So you may know that in the past years there had been a lot of protests against topics, such as protests against racial discrimination and abortion bans in the U.S.  However, on the subject of protests, there are some people who devote their whole lives to protesting in one way or another, with the aim of reforming the society. They start protests, make speeches and start movements to "make society listen to their voices and mend itself". Of course, I am talking about activists. Activists are those who, as mentioned before, aim towards reforming a certain sector of society, to "change" it, and to make a better society for the greater good. They do this through more vigorous practices such as campaigns, boycotts, protests, and such movements.  However, despite all this, the main subject is whether or not activism is majorly good or majorly bad, and whether activists should be accepted more or disregard...

Creativity - What Does it Mean to Me?

Image
 Hello Guys, welcome to another article of Comic Chronicles! One thing that drives my life is creativity. What exactly is this creativity? Well, different people can see this word differently. Let me tell you my interpretation of this word. Creativity, in my opinion, is a quality. It is the ability of the mind to develop new and original ideas for activities. Creativity is most applicable in the Arts, as well as Literature. However, creativity is present everywhere in my opinion, and it influences the way you live. The advantage of creativity is that you know what to do yourself most of the time, and you know how to live your life your own way.  That is my interpretation of Creativity. Thank you for reading this. You can also comment what creativity means to you! Thank you!

A Quote for a Powerful Thought: Reflection on a quote

Image
 Hello Everyone, and welcome to another article of Comic Chronicles. Today I give you a reflection of a powerful quote, which I hope to prove to you that it is a deep and influential thought summed up in 5 words: I think, therefore I am. - René Descartes This quote originates from the Latin phrase 'Cogito Ergo Sum', with the Same meaning. Cogito - I think Ergo - Therefore Sum - I am Now, the thought may seem unclear at first, but I'll simplify the meaning for you. We can rephrase this sentence to 'I think like so, therefore, I am like so'. Now, I hope you get the idea of it. This quote means that what you think of describes your personality. No matter how you behave, how you really are is defined by what is in your mind most often. Put in a much simpler way, you are what you think about most often. A huge example of this is the Internet crisis of the modern age. And I don't mean an internet shortage of any sort. I'm describing the crisis that we are unknowin...

Image
 Hello Everyone, and welcome to another post from Comic Chronicles!  Some people would always have anticipations and thing that look forward to in the near future, be it the coming week, coming months, or even the next day, while others have nothing much to look forward to unless there's a special event in their lives. Today I decide to go a little personal and pen down what are the things I am looking forward to next week, starting small, down to the biggest thing. In reality, there are only a few things that I really anticipate, but nevertheless these are some things that I would love. 1. Gaming with my Friend: I am in no way a gamer who's addicted to gaming, but I do enjoy playing video games with my best friend from school. It is a fun time and I enjoy the moment with my friend whenever I play with him. However, I only play once every week on a Friday, so I can make sure that I won't get addicted! However, for this week I might have to move the gaming hangout to Saturda...

Article on Woman Empowerment

Hello everyone, and welcome to Comic Chronicles. Woman Empowerment is a pretty major and trending issue in the modern world, so I have written an article to share my viewpoint on the topic. A current trend in modern society is tensions and debates regarding feminism and problems regarding women being suppressed and abused, and lack of woman empowerment. In fact, this movement of freedom in women has been happening for so long that it is even being ridiculed. However, what exactly is this woman empowerment? Well, women empowerment is not only limited to one category In fact, it can be applied everywhere, be it work or home or elsewhere. It is the freedom of women, abolition of woman suppression, and the ability of women to have their own voices. How did this all start? The idea of suppressing women can be dated to a long time ago. Back then, it was ideal that men did all the outside work and had a place in society, whereas women were made to take care of the children and run the house. ...

Things that I love about myself

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to Comic Chronicles. Today I go a little personal and tell you about some things that I find amazing about myself. Not only that, I will also be talking about other topics regarding our psychology, especially revolving around self-esteem. My perfectionism is my strength : People usually see perfectionism as a useless and unnecessary characteristic. However, I see it as a motivation to do things in the best way possible. Although no one and nothing can be perfect, it is this perfectionism that encourages me to do my best in every single thing I do. My kindness and empathy : I always see my kindness and empathy towards others as an advantage. Kindness and Empathy helps me develop compassion over people, so they know I can be their companion, and that they can count on us. At the same time, the saying, that kindness is like a mirror, is absolutely true. People are also friendly to me all the time, and I can let them know they can trust me without any probl...

THE ONCE GLORIOUS RIVER - A Poem on How we are Ruining Nature

Image
Hello, and welcome to another blog from Comic Chronicles. As you know, saving Mother Earth is one of the greatest concerns that we as humans face. Without Earth, there is no home for us, and without a home, we can not exist. Therefore, through our Mother Earth, we are responsible for our own fate. However, we still carelessly do things that unknowingly damage the environment, without knowing that we are placing a risk in front of us. We know that for our own safety, for the safety of our animals and our home, we have to protect our planet, starting form the environment around us. Yet we misuse the precious resources Nature gives us, and ruining the Earth for ourselves, as well as for our fellow humans and other animals. The following poem, written by me, depicts one such incident of how such a precious resource can be wasted and degraded into being useless. This deprives us of an opportunity to use these resources for our own welfare. The poem is titled, 'The Once Glorious River...
