Right or wrong



Few days back, when I went to a park, I saw a lot of kids playing so happily.

Since it was evening, the crowd was dominated by kids only...

I saw a kid who was picking a paper, tearing it, and putting it all over the pathway...

When I saw this, I asked him not to do that...

I asked him, "Tell me, what you are doing is right or wrong?"

He was thinking for some time and smiled...

Again I asked him. This time, he was thinking more deeply and came up with an answer...

He said, "It's wrong."

Then he himself picked up the trash papers and put them in the dustbin...

That isn't a surprise for me.

What surprised me was, there were a few more dried leaves, papers, and toffee covers. He picked all of them up and threw them in the dustbin...

He literally cleaned the whole space. Seeing him, other kids also joined him and cleaned the floor...

It was very overwhelming to see.

Also, I realised how bringing up kids by teaching them good habits and manners works, and how much it matters.

A very small word from me turned into a huge result...

A small interaction, a few thoughtful words, can create a much bigger impact than we expect...

Goodness is contagious too♥️...

Yesterday!

Yesterday felt complete. Because my favourite professor presented me with a diary Because it was the last offline working day Because all the classes were fun Because the last hour was a group activity Because it was rain and sunset together Because of the giggles And the unbearable belly laughs. Yesterday was special. Was it so special? Wasn’t it ordinary? No, it wasn’t for the last six months. Though it rained, Though both the sun and clouds coexisted, Though we, as friends, were together, Yesterday felt different—real, genuine. The old energy is back. The moment we realised It’s still the same spark, The same bond, The same charisma, The same love is Alive between us. Yesterday was special. Another win is Having made a plan out of a WhatsApp group, And actually executing it amidst heavy rain. Having tried new snacks Without running behind time and the bill, Eating them all, Fulfilling the inner child’s stomach and soul. Having taken selfies Despite being shy and awkward. Yesterday w...

Growing with them☘️

Even the idea of talking about plants today makes me feel excited. That’s how much I love plants.It was not really a sudden attraction or love towards them. Since childhood, I was always surrounded by plants and trees. When we were taught that plants are living beings, being a child, it was overwhelming. Like humans, they too are living — that fact itself was just amazing.Since then, I started observing them closely, the diseases they get, the signs that show when life is slowly leaving them, all of this I understood through science, keen observation, and childhood curiosity. I remember when we bought plants for the first time, I named them. One of my teachers told me that plants can respond to us. So every morning, once I woke up, I would share a small talk with them. Even thinking about it now feels cute, and the same excitement is still alive. Even in the town where we were brought up, there wasn’t much of a flat culture. Houses were usually in the centre, surrounded by trees on bot...

Say and Do

Say and Do, Not only the spelling of these two words differs, But the meanings do too. Only One in a million Doesn’t know the difference, Whereas others, The whole population — Know what the word “Say” denotes And what the word “Do” denotes. Yet we just pretend, As if we are great actors. It begins in childhood, Gets worse in adulthood, And in old age, A few realise and succeed, Whereas others regret And find it difficult to cope. It all starts with small promises. We used to say, “I promise you, Mom,” But with the left hand, Or By twisting the middle and Index fingers, So that those words are just words, not action. So Say & Do isn’t a new thing for us. It grows As a habit, Or develops as A trait itself. It should be pruned like a weed in a plant, But instead, pesticide is sprayed, And we fail to remember that  Any day it's unhealthy. Adulthood worsens it. Food, fashion, fitness, studies, and life choices — Everything makes a cameo. At times, I wonder, Are we really being acto...
