Mumbai's Pulse and Paradox

Image
Mumbai is a city with a unique aura. I understood this when I shifted here for college. Mumbai is a fast-moving city and it is truly appropriate to call it the city of dreams. People are so focused here. Mumbai can be summed up as Mumbai rains and Mumbai Locals, the city's heartbeat. They are the essence of Mumbai. Mumbai rains can change from lovely☔ to annoying⛈ in just a few minutes. I love rains but it becomes exhausting when you have to travel and you can't differentiate between a road and a stream. It is lovely when you are at Marine Drive, enjoying the view. But the reality strikes with an instant chilly weather after rains with a swarm of mosquitoes🦟 roaming around like bloodthirsty vampires. The raindrops feel like these tiny bullets that pierce through your skin. Though I love it when I get unnecessary holidays on Red Alerts and it doesn't even rain.  When the sea visits Mumbai🌊 Although I hate it when I have to travel to college during heavy rainfall. I'm f...

Dilemma Struck

 I have been dreaming about this moment forever Now I'm living it, however  It stopped making me contented and blissful  I'm just nervous and tearful  The clear picture has now blurred Emotions sturred  Confusions are piled It has faded, my smile I have no clue what I want  Thoughts about future and nightmares haunt Granted it's just overthinking again But it's just a never ending chain Don't know where life will take me Full of hurdles it may be It's exciting and scaring But might be happiness bearing. ~Reya

Indefatigable Towards Life

Worrying from dusk till dawn  Don't know what went wrong Oh God these ups and downs The cause of all my frowns Need to get out of my comfort zone Failure is not prone In all the retakes Learning from your mistakes Is indispensable Makes your life commendable Life is all about trials and errors People not giving up are rarer Seize every opportunity that comes your way To the world, let your efforts display! ~Reya

Expectations...

Image
There are so many of these unfulfilled expectations, A reason for hesitation, Play by the rules, deprived of life, an obligation, Makes my life a forgotten limitation! You want to stand by these, All opportunities you want to seize. Without questioning why? In asking yourself what you want, why be shy? Another way of penetrating into our thoughts, reminiscent of their nature, Making us self-pity and question our lives, Why bother, they all are just nosey strangers, What matters is what makes our soul thrive!!!                                                                                                                  ...

Delighting Ordeals

Image
 Sometimes you don't believe in deities, A thing for pity, Life can be hard, Path to success might be jarred. Keep moving on, From somewhere at the end light is coming from, The small little pieces of joy, Let the sadness in your life, with you, not toy. And success pry, All you need to do is try. But it feels more real, When I fill out the application forms, Feels like my end is near, Although metaphorically wrong. It could change my life forever,    Could bring me happiness moreover,                                                                                           But it's actually just the beginning, My whole life waiting for me, beckoning,  If I get in, Euphoria with a reverent grin!  ...

Uncertainly Predictable

I don't know what's going to happen, A dilemma no one can imagine. It feels the worst. But what I have for success, the thirst! People tell you things, Ignore and open your wings. Let me learn on the way, Allow me to make mistakes, is what I say. A dream I can't betray Going to make it my forte. Success is in trying your very best, Oozing out the passion that is suppressed. Work knee deep hard indeed, But sometimes rest is what you need. Let's see what the future brings, Let the success spring!

Unwitting Humans!

Image
  No one knows what's going to come, Nor can they change the past, But still they will keep inquiring about what you want in life, as if it will last. If you are trying to rejoice the achievements or overcome the failures, Sometimes all you want is peace and tranquil, Of course! Your mood isn't always uphill. Although that's not understood For thinking, denial of precious time, Hence, the ideas are left buried under grime. They try to be opinionistic, Tell you what you want, Unaware of their conversion to intrusion savant. To forget their lives, fiddling will be there in yours, Meddling into what doesn't matter, If I say this isn't human nature, I flatter. -Reya Oberoi

Not So Sweet Sixteen!

Image
  Life's an adventurous journey. You can't tell what comes your way. It's unpredictable. Seriously, I never imagined growing up. Liked my life the way it was. In fact, loved it.   I turned sixteen on 10th May. I just don't understand what's so sweet about turning sixteen. It feels the same as fifteen but with a bit more responsibilities and a hint of madness. Why do people make growing up such a big deal even though it feels quite great? You still miss those inane years when you could do asinine things without any good explanation. Well, life goes on to become complicated. However, it's fun. This topic has dual descriptions. Can't adhere to one. Simply bewildering.  If you think about it, when you are around 5 years old, you just want to grow up so that you can do whatever you want. Nevertheless, this thought disappears when you become a teenager as you need to justify everything you do. When you start growing up people expect you to mature & be wise. (...

What's The Reality?

Image
Have you ever imagined why everything in the world is the way it is? Is it a fantasy? I know my above question is a bit weird to understand, so let me rephrase it.  Why are there only 26 alphabets ? Who can guarantee that there is something known as alphabets? Why are they 26? What would have happened if there were 25 or 27 alphabets? Would it actually affect life? I think it would be pretty much the same and would be lame for the ones learning them. Why were they discovered? English or any other language isn't some science experiment that we need to find out why.  Well, it's not only alphabets. I would also like to probe the discovery of numbers . Who in the world thought there is something like real numbers, irrational and rational numbers, integers, fractions and the list goes on. I would die if I went on to complete that list. However, the madness never stopped. People went on proving theorems and lemmas. I mean just imagine how this world would be a 'DREAMLAND' i...

#School Life🎒📚😎👨🏻‍🏫✍🏻

Image
I will share some things with you that I missed about school during the Corona time. I know it's a bit shocking, me saying I missed school even after some of my other arguments. However, like everything has two sides-good (which you miss) and bad, even school has a good side.  The thing that is amazing about school is the fact that we cannot recall the homework the teacher gave us an hour ago but we sure do remember the fun we had a month ago when the same teacher was absent. Also, enjoying the little moments of having to talk to each other when the teacher is not looking, all the sports periods, sometimes even getting late for assemblies🥁 and talking during the boring speeches, the whole class feeling sleepy in the history period and looking at one another to ask the time left for the lunch break.  The most hilarious event that takes place in the class would be when the teacher (especially the science or mathematics teacher) announces a surprise test. The persistence of all ...

Abominate the NO GENEROUS System!!

Image
The so called Education System is the most confused and unorganised system of the planet. They told us in junior classes about countable and uncountable nouns 🤞🏻 . Knowledge is an uncountable noun but they measure it through quantities like marks and grades . 💯 ✒ 📝  Well, jokes on them.😜 Their concepts are not clear and this resulted in a system like this. They still have the courage💪🏻 to judge our knowledge! Bob Ross once said, "We don't make mistakes,  just happy little accidents." I wish if we students said that to the examiners, they believed us...  Sometimes I wonder, is it actually legal to have such an inhumane system in the universe?  They say that one exam cannot determine our potential. Then for what ' Golden ' reason they take exams?(Explain in 150 words. 😜  ) I would actually want to meet the person who invented exams and check if his brain was alright. Who would wanna torture kids? What did we ever do to them?  They actually don't test ...

TECHNOLOGY #A Human Disaster💣💥 but Miracle🎉

Image
Technology is what has put us humans up there as the most   civilized &  transforming creatures on the planet. We use technology to make ourselves organised. It has given us the opportunity to connect to the world.  Everyone should make the best use of this asset.  But somehow we humans managed to get addicted to it. We have used technology for making our lives easy by inventing automobiles, phones, computers, artificial intelligence, etc. Even so what exactly is ‘Technology’? It’s just another application of scientific knowledge into something that has helped make our lives run smoothly and make us lazy. Coming of artificial intelligence has led to lot of profits nevertheless many became unemployed. India is an overpopulated nation & not everyone is educated. In spite of this, mostly everyone knows how to use a phone but they are not aware of what would be the best use of it. There are some people involved in wrong activities who are ready to put viruses ...

#WasteOfTime

Image
Trigonometry is impractical and tyrannical, Makes me wanna go into a world that is magical. But less annoying than studying electricity, It's like students involved in complicity. Constructing triangles and circles when the given information is a handful, These teachers are truly not merciful. Even one-degree difference, no sparing, You are a failure; the mathematics paper is declaring. Integration and differentiation aren’t wrapped in wonder, In our complicated lives they just bring more thunder. Now there comes the story of spreading of nationalism,  More like the tale of irrationalism. The teacher is like now let's study electromagnetism, The book correctly depicts egoism! Have you even seen the volume of these books? Seriously not having good looks. How do you even expect us to study these horrifying monsters, Even if we study them, what is the guarantee that our future is going to be a blockbuster? So, if you are studying or have studied al...

RELIGIOUS HARMONY: A Realistic Dream

George Bush wisely said,  “In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In ALL things, generosity.” We all have heard about both Hindu and Muslim harmony and differences. They exist because some people of a particular religion think that some things are being performed which are against their religion. Like arguments go on about eating meat. I believe that humans, animals and plants are like they belong to the upper class, middle class and the lower class respectively. You know, nobody eats humans. Well some people eat animals and animal products. But you can hardly find anyone who doesn’t eat plants. If we see, humans are being treated as if they belong to the upper class, animals of middle class and plants of lower class. We cannot live without the people who are termed as of the lower class because of the help they provide in every field of work. Just like plants give us oxygen without which we cannot survive. I think Hindu and Muslims are like siblings. They ar...

#Free India

Image
  Struggle for Independence The brave-hearted started raising their voice, Against the colonial rule which they didn’t rejoice. They wanted a united nation This obligation was more than an inspiration. They revolted and were put behind the bars, Although it didn’t reduce the fire of freedom in their hearts. Everyone had different ideas for freedom, The struggle was more violent than Antietam. Nothing could bring their spirit down, Not the Rowlatt Act or the tragic Jallianwala in Amritsar town. It just made their rage proficient. Finally, they succeeded in getting India independent, And proved that they wouldn’t let anyone be a colonial rule descendent.                                                                                         ...

Road To Success◾◾◾

GUILT      FREE When frustrated I am It's not always because of a tan Sometimes its because of life When some incidences cut my dreams like a knife.  My dreams and wishes, I can't buy There is no reason why This isn't anything to explain, What I wanted with my life, away it drained. It's hard to get on, My every plan in life got torn. But this one incident cannot stop me, From this guilt I will soon be free. There is a lesson I have learnt from this, Now there won't be an opportunity I will miss. Life can be weird sometimes , you don't get what you are looking for . This pains even more if you know that you had worked hard for it . But as per me, the only thing that will make you feel better is to never loose hope . It will encourage you to try your best the next time & make you feel better and less guilty .   You could do something that would help you feel better & express your views (like I write poems when I am frustrated) . However , failure...
