Tender Areca Nut

On a beautiful evening, as I was walking in my garden, I noticed that some of the tender Areca-nuts are lying on the ground. I usually don't notice anything around the Areca-nut tree because it is a very slender and tall tree with leaves and nuts only at the very end of the tree.But today they caught my eyes, Maybe because something was very fascinating about them.Maybe they were talking to themselves… we can never know, can we? We can only imagine, we can only guess. I can s

Dear Humans...

Dear humans, You assault her every second of every day, Not caring about how or what she feels, Choking her with smoke and gas till she turns grey, Standing there, doing nothing and watching as she wastes away. She acted as a mother all her life to you, Took the trash, the tantrums you threw at her, And this is how you repay her? Polluting her body and blood too, It’s definitely not something new. She provided you with all you needed to live, Soil as shelter and fruits as foo

The In-Between

Sitting here on the terrace There’s a feeling of both Isolation and togetherness. Feeling of being part of Something magnificent Yet so small. There’s a feeling of calmness Along with a wide spread eeriness. Birds return home And the stars pop out. Such contrasting canvas Where the sun goes And the moon comes out. Azaan echoes in this dreamy world. O! What a balanced state I’ve found. Nature expresses in colour, in bloom, in roars and chirps, in gushes and gurgles of water an

The experience taught us how to work together efficiently and collaboratively.

I went for the CAS camp bracing myself for more physical activity than I was used to. I was expecting simple treks, some more outdoor activities and maybe some sports on campus. While all these expectations were fulfilled, there was so much more we did and learnt in the CASTAWAY program. I was excited to go trekking, being the nature lover that I am, expecting something fairly simple. But what I got was an intense hike that was both tiring and terrifying; and it was so much b

Going into the CAST Away camp , I was mainly excited to get to know my fellow classmates better. Honestly, I don't consider myself much of an outside girl. I wondered how I would live in the wild for 5 days along with the tiring treks and activities I would have to take part in.I was surely excited, but I was worried too, as to whether or not I would be able to keep up with the hectic schedule. The camp surely exceeded my expectations.On the first day myself, I had so much fu

I thought it would be like the other camps I've been to.

Around a week before our trip to the Hyderabad, I really didn’t want to go. I thought it would be like the other camps that I’ve been to, and did not want to do the same monotonous activities again. I was really worried about sleeping in tents and using bathrooms with so many insects once again. However, when we actually left I began enjoying the experience. At first, it was because I was surrounded by all my friends but when I reached the campsite it was because I saw so man
