INDIA: A WORLD OF OUR OWN

Image
                                                                                      INDIA: A WORLD OF OUR OWN F ro m the might of the river Indus, And the defiance of archaic ruins, Rose a country, distinct from others, Fought over for thousands of full moons. Valleys of verdant green meads, Between duads of timeworn hills, To the towering mounds of snow on Fabled peaks of undermined wills. Metropolitans surround the capital, Delhi, with the Indian flag standing tall. Skyscrapers and manors, forts and palaces, For modernity's call, and antiquity's drawl. Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Telugu, Marati, Gujarati- There are no ends to all the languages, As they stand together in sheer equality. Thousands and thousands run errands across numerous wide roads and...

An Unbelievable Piscine Feat

Image
                          An Unbelievable Piscine Feat S even million years ago, innumerable species of fish roamed the ocean in peace. Sure,  there were incidents in which fish were killed for prey by the apex predators of that time.  However, the oceans had been clean and somehow seemed quite… pure in nature. Compared to the present days. Our oceans, then filled with fish, are now being filled with countless heaps of garbage.  All the marine creatures have been adjusting to this for a while now- -Except three, determined marine animals who stood strong in their vow to bring back  the former pristine glory of the vast ocean: Emerist, a killer whale who sought peace  and order from every being she ever met; Peiyers, a whale shark who was certainly more  daring than any other shark in the world; and Dritjon, a swordfish who seemed a bit  slower than the other swordfish. She was a great le...

The Light in the Shadows

    Stand up to darkness! The Light in the Shadows... The world melts in darkness, Indeed a dark sight to witness. However, you stand strong, Knowing that with you, light comes along. A sight of positivity, A thought of utmost purity! Nobody, not even me, can stand, Against the darkness; you are certainly  grand! Courageous, a daredevil, Standing against the true devil! A shrewd being, a miser of light, You are none other than the Null's very plight! Evil is none lesser than vacuum, To you, the protector of our impending doom! Light zooms in to assist you, You are the Great One, the rumour is true! The whole universe looks up to you. Indeed, Oh Incredible One, you   are fit to lead! Unleash the light trapped within your boundless mind, I have taught you this; keep it in mind! The light surrounding you combines, With the light that is not actually mine; It is present in you, my apprentice! Light has finally become your accomplice! Your imagination, your vividity, Your...

The Bittersweet Ocean

    The Bittersweet Ocean The evil waves and despairing storms; The roars of thunder, Crash through her saline arms. Fishermen to drown, and yachts to sink The ocean is a soothsayer your life is at her eye's blink. The ocean is a warrior, with her tsunamis and hurricanes, Her platinum currents are her rapiers, Her silver waves are her shurikens. When her waves drift ashore, and her salt provides itself to you, When this happens-- rest assured, The ocean will not lunge on cue. She holds the most powerful Of all marine creatures, From the most bizarre of whales, To the most common critters. From the greatest of apex predators, And the most passive of fish, To the most abundant supplies of coral, Which she thinks to be her greatest wish. The ocean is a healer, With the weapon-like water which she hurled- It is the very water that holds, The life of all the world! -   Sahana Raghuraman

Hope in a bowl

                                                                                                              Hope in a bowl Times are hard, And good far off, Dismay is away a yard; Can the dark world be faced-off? But there comes a spark, A glimmer, a hope, Out of the times dark, Without the help of a rope. There it is! Inside the bowl! Eyes unable to miss, Not a bit foul! As the hand reaches out, Faster than light,  Without any doubt, Eyes holding the sight. And there's the glimmer, A single crumb, Hope not dimmer, Mind better than numb! The crumb goes down, Into the throat, The darkness to drown, In the light's moat. As the hope appears, By the food's help, The darkness' evil disappears, Giving light a j...

A Message to the Trees

                    A Message to the Trees Grow tall, oh tree, for the nature demands it,       as you are always to be, the one to never quit. For years and years, you are slain by mankind, and nature's tears are hard not to find. As your leaves flow in the breeze,                       t he greenery grieves,          "What more shall man seize? " Your roots push into the ground, as they intend to never give in, to the bloodthirsty way of humans bound to cause trees the worst sin. Whatever humans do,  your shade always does good, as travellers who value you, fall asleep beneath you and brood. As the time goes on, the more their intentions change, for the trees young and gone, come back as a plant for an exchange! - Sahana Raghuraman

Goddess Namagiri Thayar

                                      GODDESS  NAMAGIRI THAYAR Are you wondering why I am writing about this goddess? Are you wondering who she is? She is none other than Namagiri Thayar, who's a family deity for many families. Well, you're going to know a lot about this goddess in this blog! Namagiri Thayar was the family deity for my paternal grandmother Kalyani. She was the one who helped us to know more about this goddess. My grandmother told us, "Whenever you need to find something that has been lost, don't worry! If you have enough devotion for this goddess, she will get it back for you !" She also narrated a wonderful story about the goddess: "You must have known about the famous mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. His family deity was, of course, Namagiri Thayar. He wasn't really well-trained in mathematics as you must have thought, but he loved maths. One day, he did not have any...
