Brain Sparkers

The sweet-scented memories now sway by my desk from time and within. The memories which bring a chest of emotions, pure within but ephemeral on the shell. The dancing thoughts always halted upon the familiar faces, faces that can’t be swept away even from the subconscious. A series of ecstatic faces and figures, showed up every other day, simply because I was going to  the  college. A college far away where my paraphernalia of life for the past eighteen years, would cease to be with me. This inscrutable truth was kept on ignored by me, but not for long.   The day which I least aspired of, of leaving home was already glancing through the first set of sunrays. The family plays a crucial role in departing us hiding their feelings in the best way possible. So, we set upon the journey of traveling physically, yet emotionally took the longest time. After touring the vicinity of the campus, we entered the campus with high hopes and thankfully they haven’t left me till now. An ordinary fir

The slow but steady debauching of festivals has taken over the minds of many of us. Diwali, the festival of lights, one of the most awaited, just passed a few days back. It was observable that year by year, the festivals are losing their hype and we are being taken far from the origins of our culture,  unknowingly . In this blog, I plan to delineate some of the major obstacles erected through the past.  These obstacles were premediated by ones who plan to take us to the way of living, where we shouldn’t have gone.   Firstly, as I belong to the student community, I would like to emphasize the grave topics which are prevalent for years in every school in the nation. We all are given holiday homework on these types of festivals be it Diwali, Dusshera, or be it the summer or winter vacations. Why? As far as I’ve heard from some of the teachers, these are to keep the child occupied in the holidays so that he/she doesn’t get bored or some of them might say that this homework is for enh

  T he pandemic has continued for more than a year now, and we are still left in the dark for the real reasons behind this pandemic. Was this actually planned or just a naturally occurring once-in-a-hundred-year event? I personally don’t think of it as a 100-year event, because there is no assurance that another pandemic will wait 100 years from now. As the think tanks are in action, many of the conspiracy theories are being surfaced. The reason behind this is so much detrimental to humanity, that it will and surely will reoccur in the future. In this blog, I briefly indicate some of the many clues left in the air.   The pandemic as we see is only a scene of pity and destruction of families all over the world. Contrastingly , when the unprincipled people see the scenario, they add a little more degree in their view. Some see it as a business boom, some see it as the beginning of authoritarianism, while some see it as a sideway to make things work that were

Knowing lately, this ongoing pandemic is not going to completely vanish very soon, we have been brought to a juncture of past and future. Whether we should learn from past events or search for catharsis in the future. Learning would take time and so would the searching. So why not just take a dip in the ancestry of all the relatives, the youngest of whom is the one-year-old, COVID - 19. Getting a bit at the terminology, there are several designations bestowed upon the diseases. Some are endemic, some are epidemic and the highest of them is pandemic. In this blog, we’ll majorly focus upon the pandemics, as the other levels have a plethora of diseases under them. Moving in chronological order, the first pandemic which wiped out nearly 75-200 million people in the years of 1346 - 1353 was caused by the bubonic plague. This was known as the BLACK DEATH. It was the one and only pandemic which ravaged three continents, Asia, Europe, Africa over a long span of time. The bubonic plague ha

Coming up is my approach towards the understanding of less ‘craze’ in Diwali. I know that most of you might have not gone through this less craze and must have enjoyed it beyond the limits. But for some of you, it was not so. Enjoy it in the form of a diary entry.   Dear Diary,   Was this Diwali? 14 th day of November arrived on Saturday and went in a swoosh of air. It seemed that Sundays were much more awaited than Diwali. The morning messages started with the wishes and ended at night with sharing snaps. Neither of the children were happy on their day nor the diyas placed on the boundary walls. There were no hoots of kids enjoying the fireworks. There were bright colours of red and blue and yellow in rangolis , but were the colours enticing for eyes? Did these colours ignite something related to happiness? There were belly relishing sweets, but did their aroma dance in our nostrils? Perhaps not, because there were masks on our faces rather than joy. Our eyes had apprehen

  Many hardships and tussles are going over in India. There are companies bidding goodbye, factories going for hibernation, education going nominal and the nation being comatose. And I would not like to exaggerate the pandemic, as the media is doing their job.                                               Let us get an ear to the conversation going on within the country as different characters participate in expressing their views. This conversation is a part of humor and satire mingled to give way for media.        Economist :         India is entering into an economic recession. We have attained a GDP of -23.2%. It is being predicted that half of the population will go unemployed. Grave news isn’t it? Media :                  Yes, it is grave news but our audience is worried about the booming positive cases. And we also personally like flashy and breaking news. So, we don’t really think that this would be a great topic to consider. Workers :             There is nobody to

The sacred books have been immortal from ancient mythology to this era. However, today we might fumble to speak its wordings but it is totally sacrilegious to not put any effort to dive in its words of truth. The truth of now, the past and the upcoming is meticulously described in it to add more to the normal vision of society. Now, coming to the point, we all have left the peripheries of our beliefs and morals. Earlier we didn’t question the veracity of our holy books, teachings, rituals, customs, etc., but now the advanced and learned generations have been expressing their doubts on the matter. The reason can be explained bilaterally. Firstly, the truth going on from centuries is wrong as we have always tried to search for evidence and haven’t got them yet. Secondly, the truth going on from centuries is correct but we have always tried to search for evidence and haven’t got them yet. It should be understood that there are some off stream topics which are known as the bad elemen

In the earlier posts, we have comprehensively mentioned the outcomes of the pandemic, especially unwanted ones. As of now, some companies have filtered their future from the loss-making ones. These are truly the market gainers that have either changed their streams of working or have changed the stream of markets for their work. Numerous such big brands are in this run of fame, but some are shining from the beginning of their basics, which are discussed below.
