TEMPORARY

Nevertheless,
The best part of English for me is how just a few changes in the alphabet change the whole sense of the statement. Same as how our life can change with very few changes we add unaware of the fact that it can actually bring a change to us. Even the wrong usage of a few words can change the way we are in a relationship.
Regardless of the sacrifices, we made, for humans, just a few words are enough to forget the kindness of the world.
People say that humans are the most intelligent creatures on this planet, but for me, it's that no one is intelligent, even the computers can make errors so who are we to transform the world when it was the flora who started the world...... It's completely a wrong way of comparison but I guess that we all are flawed in the most beautiful way. I guess it's the reason why we evolve and make this world a better place.
In the end, there is this beautiful line that~ ''Humans are so cute when we say goodbye we put our arms around each other,....... for pleasure we listen to arrangements of sounds, press our lips together, and get drunk off of old fruit....... We're all just little animals, falling in love and having breakfast beneath billions of stars."

Walk down the aisle~
Exchanging those friendship bands, bad-mouthing those
people, learning to lie about things, crying when we lost each other, meeting
on a day where the weather was fine. Were those days even worth it when I wasn’t
with you?
The era where we just saw each other through that screen,
having nostalgia of that madness we had together, listening and talking about
our favorite people, introducing each other to those we never knew.
The time went like it was just yesterday when we passed
through those doors and entered another world without each other.
When this year ends I just remember those moments we had and
walk down the aisle, thinking that we
will meet again, make new memories, share new stories and be a better person
than we were before. This ain’t the last day of the year, it's just a new way of
having a fresh start in this bitter-sweet world where we can walk down
together.
I want to end this blog with a verse from the song 'MAGIC SHOP' from BTS-
“I do believe your galaxy.
I want to listen to your melody.
The stars in your Milky Way,
How will they appear in your sky?
Don’t forget that I found you anyways.
At the end of my despair.
You’re the last reason.
For me who was standing at the edge of the cliff.
Live.”

Serendipity
Hello everyone! Previously I wrote a story in my blog titled 'Storytime', this time I am here with my second story based on dreams and superheroes.
The first half of the story revolves around a 10-year-old girl, Nara. A day at school is portrayed where she finally realizes her dream. The second half is about her teenage and when realizes life doesn't go our way. The plot changes when we see her as an adult doing a job she never thought of but which changed her life.
“Nara, get up already, finish your breakfast”
“Are you still not gonna get up?”
“Mom, he is gonna do the high kick though”
“If you are not getting up from that place, you will gonna have a high kick from me”
“Stop shouting, I can’t even concentrate on my newspaper these mornings”
“DAD!, where are my boots?”
“I told u yesterday Nara sleep before packing up everything for the morning”
At a distance the bus honks
“Mom!, Dad! I’m getting late bye”
The door slammed and the bus rushes with the little 10-year kiddo.
School bell rings
“Good morning ma’am”
“Good morning everyone, remember I told you’ll to write an essay on your future and what you want to become when you get older?”
“Yes ma’am!!!” a loud response made Ms. Guo happy.
“So, let's start”
“Who’s gonna start with their essay”
The enthusiastic crowd filled the room with giggles and loud answers.
“Ok, let's start with Nara this time”
“Y-Y-Yes ma’am”
“Are you ready?”
“N-No, Yes ma’am”
“So come over”
“Hi everyone! I am Nara, ever since my brother introduced me to the euphoric world of heroes, I decided what I wanted to become….”
A silent class filled with questions gazed at her, thinking what was she going to answer.
“I thought of becoming a hero… a-a real-life hero”
The class burst out in laughter.
“Silence everyone, cooperate with your classmate”
“I-I want to save people who are living a miserable life, I want to fight the villains and I want everyone to lead a life where they are happy just by thinking of me that I will save them. Thank you!”
“That was great Nara, but can I ask you something?”
“Sure ma’am”
“Have you seen a real-life hero?”
“Y-Yes I see him every day”
“Can I know who is he?”
“My dad, whenever I think of something he buys me that, whenever I am crying he is by my side, just his thought makes me feel assured”
“Well that was a well choice of answer Nara”
The school bell rang and everyone rushed towards the playground for the next period.
A day at school finally ended. Nara was so keen to tell about her dreams and how her day went by to her parents. Thinking and arranging all thoughts while others were playing on the bus.
The house doorbell rang.
“Hey, mom! How are you? What did you make for lunch? I am so hungry right now, today so many things happened at school, but do you know what-“
“Wait, first wash up, then you can brag all about it”
“Ok mom”
Nara rushed towards the washroom as soon it was time for her favorite cartoon.
“I want to get older soon, and see more things”
Time passed by, some days filled with enthusiasm, some filled with anger and she reached her teenage just like that.
2) Plot 2-
“Mom, dad, get up already, I am done making the food, let's eat, fast”
“Nara, wait a minute the match is gonna end soon”
“They are not going to win, it’s a fixing”
An announcement popped up from the television, “And they won, what a defeat”
“I rooted for you people just so we can see you lose”
Everyone hurried towards the dining table, as the smell of curry filled the room with aroma.
“You are all grown up”
“Stop saying that mom”
“I am so angry, how can we lose such a game?”
“Can you stop talking about it on the table at least”
“Dad, did they come to feed you for rooting over them? No right, why do you mind them, they gave their best today, eat instead.”
“When you were young did the superheroes feed you for seeing them?”
“Mom that was a mere cartoon, that doesn’t exist in real life”
“Indeed you understood it now”
Years passed by and Nara grew up as an adult. She wasn’t a superhero but she became a person who gave superheroes to children. A novelist and a book writer. The government was felicitating her for her wonderful work this day.
A crowd with profound writers attended the great ceremony. The ceremony started.
"And the award for the best writer goes to Ms. Nara"
“She is a rookie writer who earned fame and honor on different platforms.”
“Hello everyone, this is Nara, I debuted with my work last year, and children and also people of different age groups loved my work and here I am with their love and support”
“You are indeed a gifted writer, now a lot of people asked me this question and wanted me to convey you”
“O-Ok sure”
“What was your inspiration about heroes and what was your first dream of becoming in real life?”
“This is a question that is quite nostalgic, my childhood was quite fun, my parents were joyful and were lenient about quite a lot of stuff. My first dream job or work was becoming a superhero, bringing a smile to people in despair and bringing relief to all the people so that they can sleep assured that I’m for their rescue, but when we face the reality, we forget our dreams, we forget all we think of. My inspiration was my parents who always brought a smile to my face, helped me through all the times, and made me feel assured about everything. I don’t want to make this a little emotional but dream, you can dream but next time think, will it be applicable in real life?
For me, where I am, I think I am a superwoman, I can bring smiles to my readers' faces, I am not being a narcissist but they feel assured that a character I created is there saving their lives, I am a hero in someone’s life at least.”
“Well, it was such a fine saying thanks Ms.”
In the end, always be happy that someone is happy for you existing and you are a hero in your own life.
Thanks for reading today’s blog!

THE TWO WORLDS
The Two Worlds we live in
I got into the "Hallyu Wave" last year and many others also got into this beautiful world. For the ones who don't know what this wave is all about, it is like ' A word that describes the global popularity of South Korea's pop culture and entertainment industry '. It is a Chinese word meaning Korean wave. The dramas and culture got me involved in social issues and taught me different new things we can't find around us.
With the pandemic that approached us, we distanced from our workplaces and schools, and friends but we came nearer to the world and found new ways to greet ourselves. Right now we are having different personalities, one we show to the outside world and one we are portraying to the digital world. The matches we used to enjoy in stadiums are available to us in different ways at home. The concerts we attended are held online too. The losses through all this are affecting the wage workers, students, businessmen, and people all over the world.
The freedom we use to experience before is lost, we are living our lives in fear. The harassment cases got hype, the businesses had a shutdown, the freedom of students confined them to the four walls and life saw a new revolution.
The people right now are visiting most of the places they can see in hope that they can see all their dream destinations. The hypothetical third wave has put us in a tough situation of the consequences if it ever occurs.
The only way we have to survive is faith and happiness. So open ur windows start ur mobiles or laptops and binge-watch all your favorite shows and enjoy to the fullest. And let's meet in my next blog!

AN ERA WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY
Tuesday, February 2, 2021
♡ When TECHNOLOGY met REAL LIFE ♡
♡ When technology met real life ♡
Hello everyone!! First of all, I wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Last year was a roller-coaster ride for me I had ups and downs, this blog completed 1,000 views after 4 years.. I couldn't write this blog for a long time as I had no thought about any topic to write about. But when I saw my pageviews with 1,520 views, I thought to write a small blog with my perspective on the digital lifestyle.
I hope you all are enjoying this lockdown staying with your family and also reviving old memories after binge-watching. But a student's life is going through a phase when eyes get strained, there is a whole attraction towards social media keeping stories of classes going on, keeping the post of lockdown life, or even candid pics. India is going through a phase of a lot of mystery but let's not think in that direction because controversy is a thing that grows the most number of disputes in this world.
From olden times, it was called that the Internet is a global village. Even said that the world is shrinking. Yes, all this is really true. We can talk to our friends that used to be our old classmates, old besties or even enemies... But, the invasion of the internet has connected us and has got us addicted to it. My parents always tell me that there use to be one telephone in a whole house. How could we live then??
Even when technology came drama or plays that were held in a village lost their identity and people went to see movies then. Even I think tech helped us to introduce ourselves to VFX a technology we see everywhere we go. Even our superheroes Marvel and DC couldn't be alive without this tech. Technology makes everything such fun and worth watching. When I was in 2nd that is 7 years ago I saw for the first time an invitation card that had in it a device that had an audio clip of Gayatri Mantra and it was so fascinating for me. Even when I was in Sr. KG I and my dad made a clock that had a cut out of Ariel our Disney mermaid and I kept her below the dial and we fitted a cell in the clock. It was made up of cardboard.
Now we all can see clocks in a different manner everywhere. First, people used sundials then different ways of deciding time were created. And now, we wear clocks of a totally different manner many people wear the old clock but we can find a digital band on everyone's hand in cities. Technology made everything such efficient that even we can measure our heart rate, steps we walked, etc., and getting more and more accurate.
Even our mobile phones modernized, when our parents had telephones we have rollable phones and foldable phones.
At a time our parents used to buy cassettes for music and now we can hear them on any device. When they had cameras to click photos we have camera set-ups in mobiles and laptops too. When they used to read books paying for them we can e-pay for it and read that book online.
There is a phrase that is always used in any country we go its simple meaning is that humans are never happy with what they have, they always want more from what they have. In my opinion, that's the most wonderful thing as it helps us to make our brains work more to bring changes to our surroundings and revolutionize the things created.
Have you ever thought about who must have invented music that is connected to technology, the electric guitars or Casio that we use.
We even have jobs in this digital world like certain competitions for games and through this many people got to showcase their talents to the world. The competitions opened a new door to gamers all across the globe.
In the end, I just want to ask you something when you turn your head all towards the surrounding around you, you can have technology's smallest sample in your room itself where you are sitting.

FROM CHILDHOOD TO TRYING ADULTING
CHILDREN TRYING ADULTING
Hello everyone! This time I thought to write on a topic which many people see, but end talking about it in gossiping but don't try to change it. In the current situation, millennials think to act like adults. Having no knowledge about its circumstances they want to try everything. This is in one form promoted in web series and OTT platforms where there is content that is not really suitable.
Like in a Hindi movie that released last year, was a remake of a south Indian film but the scenes were totally vulgar. Many movies are given UA certification to have more profit but the content in it is not suitable to see for the younger generation who find it cool to act but it turns out to be a daily behavior then. Not always acting a scene is a correct deed.
Showing much of aggression, trying to flirt are some common things happening. Showing some scenes more than enough leads to the wrong way.
Many movies nowadays are leading to learn new bad words. Like in any movie they speak a bad word the lipsync can be understood and then it leads to learning new words. Many YouTubers use a lot of slang words in the usual language. But the generation who doesn't know its meaning starts copying it and again a new word is learned.
I can prove it with my personal example, some people were habituated to use words in a usual manner. I didn't use it as I thought its really bad to use. But when I saw some youtube channels they use words in such a flow that it doesn't actually stop you speaking the same thing. Due to that now I speak some words that are not suitable to speak but it is fitted in our mind as a trend and it becomes a habit. Agree?
Some youtube channels are of dance academies and in some, small children try to act the dance steps that are clearly not content to do. If we learn everything in our childhood what's the purpose of being an adult. No one even cares to talk about it or even teach their children about it.
The simple thing I want to convey is childhood is being ruined in this generation and they learn some things, not of their piece of cake.
If everyone thinks this thing to be socialized please do write your suggestion in the comment section. Till then, BYE!!

THE WORLD OF SUPERHEROES
THE WORLD OF SUPERHEROES
Superheroes play a very vital role in our life. We really admire some of them for the extraordinary work they do in there simple life. And we really start imaging all that in our real lives.
In my life, I really admire many people. One of them is my parents, teacher, and even my senior who guide me in every part of my life. Even the friends who help me in every way are my heroes.
Another one of my admiration is RDJ. He was a drug addict, as his father used to give him drugs but it was his way of expressing love for him but he got out of it and kept a step in the movie industry. And now he is one of the most famous and respectable actors in Hollywood.
We see heroes in everyday life, even the doctors who are taking care of COVID patients are heroes for everyone. Even the people who are taking care of graveyards, the people who maintain cleanliness are also superheroes in real life.
So, before some days I wrote a story on a superhero I created. For an introduction his real name is ACE and his superhero name is WALKER. And my story's name is Walker Walk's to a new normal life. So, do enjoy this story.
Walker Walks to normal life
This is a unique tale of my superhero that has only one goal, one mission to save this world from the evil powers of terror either from Religious fanatics or from corporate tycoons.
In the early
days of moonlight, studded the happiest days of Ace. He was born in Hyderabad
in red alert. He lived with his mother and a younger sister happily but
surviving without a father. But he had never noticed this.
This was the year when the city lived in the terror of bomb blasts. A day with full
happiness started he was enjoying with his sister and suddenly the terrorist
attack broke out and in just a few seconds his life changed. The whole family
vanished except him. Now started the years of hardship. He once was brought to
an orphanage.
In the
charity orphanage, he was the lone survivor. Under the stewardship of Brother
Samuel, he grew up and started learning advanced Information Technology tools
and languages. Walker regularly took part in Hackathon and Coding-Decoding
competitions. He won many of them and become famous in the dark world of the
Internet. He was a known figure in every Comic-Con fest held. He was the
superhero of millennia saving thousands of computers from hackers. But suddenly
a dream changed the whole of his life. Walker remembered the morning of terror.
Now from becoming a cyber expert he shifted his mind and become a superhero who
would save this world.
In a very
fine morning suddenly he found that he had some magical powers to foresee the
future that within a month or two in China one of the Pharmaceutical giants was
developing mass destruction virus and its vaccine too for getting the undue
monetary advantage and become ruler of the world by damaging developed nations.
He started
searching the truth and found the dream becoming reality, exactly in the
Chinese province Wuhan. He approached the Head of Pharmaceutical Giant but he
assaulted him, he fought with him and killed that Head. But the greed of Money
embrace Scientists and scientists approached other Pharmaceutical companies in
the world.No one was ready. And our superhero was also not found the whereabout
of that scientist. Meanwhile, to become a famous scientist, he released that
virus in Wuhan city as he had its vaccine with him, scientists survived but the
entire city became a graveyard overnight due to the spreading of the virus
from human to human. Slowly and gradually virus pandemic started gripping the
world. Walker searched a lot in the dark web world.
After
tiresome efforts, he found the whereabouts of the scientist and kill him and
took the vaccine from him. He then approached all the nations' heads and
informed them of the truth behind the widespread virus. He provided them the
secret formula of Vaccine too. Within a few months with vaccine development by
each country individually from the prototype received from Walker, the vaccine
started working fine on human trials. All the Nation heads were happy with the
results and manufactured the vaccine as per their citizens' demands.
21st Century
Super Hero doesn't own powerful tools or magical powers but they are good at
heart and mind. They are good at learning Advance and New technologies and
control the machines to help humans. After the pandemic gets over worldwide
around one-third of the world population died. Nowadays, Walker is busy getting
an expert in Artificial Intelligence.
So, I hope you liked my today's blog and bye for today.

Storytime!!!
Getting Unlocked...
Even at this time, politics has a deep impact. It is not for hurting a minority of the majority's feelings but it is the naked truth that every citizen is learning. Even, now India has realized the meaning of nepotism and the meaning of star kids and their importance.
Recently, I learned about NASA's major mission on Moon-"ARTEMIS". Even I learned about the strategies of Hitler and the most famous thing in human history 'WW2'. This year has taught us a lot of things. I would just like to share a beautiful thing that if you are getting failure in something try that thing again and again and I hope you would surely succeed. One example of my personal experience is that I had a time when I thought that blogging is a failure for me as there were many blogs that went unread. And one of my Diwali blogs got a really nice comment and I boosted up. Then suddenly this cycle continued. When I just thought of trying a fashion designing course at home. I learned the theory of ''BELL CURVE". A bell curve in business is your business starts with zero then reaches a peak point and then this thing starts dropping. It's generally shown in the form of graphs.
Now I think many people started again their jobs and started acting as normal. But, once my parents went to repair our laptop and they told one thing that "Here no one cares about distancing just they wear a mask and start walking. Everyone just doesn't care about the no. of cases". Actually, even many people despite of the lockdown just don't care about themselves. Now every citizen should get aware of that, just wearing a mask as your uniform is not enough, properly washing your hands for 20 seconds after coming from some or the other place is also essential. Also, we have only one life and if we can just surrender one year of this life would be grateful. At least try to maintain distances and stop physical meetings. You can at last talk to your family on Zoom meetings or Google Meet or other apps. But, physical meeting and partying is not an option this year. So, wear your avatars and plunge into the world of Virtual Reality.
Basically, I just have a plan to post a recent story I wrote on the recent issue of Corona and a story of a girl and her experiences. So, I hope you would have enjoyed this sweet little blog and I would surely post that story soon. So, stay tuned to my blog.......

Social Life
Hi friends from every nook of the world thanks for all your love you gave me since this 4 years!! You encouraged me to write more about Indian festivals, some happenings and more about what I have in my small mind. Today I just thought of having a look at my blog and I saw a feature of stats of google and it told that more than 623 people are seeing my blog!!☺️It was actually shocking!! But I would truly say that blog has brought a sudden change in my writing skill and emotions. I saw many people saw my blog from maybe its India or Denver or its Canada and actually many more places but all this was just hard to digest that so many people actually watched this blog.
So in lockdown many people started to write new thing, started cooking played games. But I found a new chef in me, I learnt othello, I had a good family time, ,made new friends on Instagram and also had a new e-learning session.
My school started our classes on Google Classroom and we had our tuition on Zoom app. Now we would have our Bharatnatyam classes on a different app. But truly when everyone is suffering from the fear of Corona we are connecting with our family at home and playing new games that we never tried, reading books you hated reading earlier and also understanding the true meaning of life and also family time.
In lockdown I saw a very famous television serial of RAMAYAN!!
The serial was a mix of Love, faith, twists and also worship and much more and it came in morning and also at night. Then I also saw Sarabhai vs Sarabhai a serial that came when I was just born.
It was full package of comedy.I revived my memories of old cartoon like Hamtaro, Sally Bollywood and also Chimpui many must not have even heard about it but it is very nostalgic to see some of the things you saw in your childhood. This year Instagram came into my life it was fun when I just started and then it was very addictive!!
The lockdown actually was acting like a long break but without our friends.... First day of lockdown was actually JANTA CURFEW in India, it was like you were the only person remaining in this world but with your parents. It is true that due to lockdown there is a decrease in the rate of Global Warming.
Now, I hope that you all liked my blog and also please send the link to my blog to every person you know to atleast enjoy this lockdown.
And Namaste!!

Education is FREEDOM, Illiteracy is SLAVERY
ILLITERACY IS SLAVERY

Our Earth
Hi friends! Today I am with a very new topic about our earth. Our earth has salt, water, plastic, beautiful nature, music, and technology. But we never found the importance of this all. Of course, all of you think that plastic ruined our life but it also helps us in some or the other way.
1] Plastic-
If one day we suddenly find that all plastic items have disappeared so we would have been so happy that we would not be in trouble with plastic. It is killing thousands of whales, birds, turtles....... We have created 6.3 tons of plastic since the 1950s, 9% is recycled, 12% incinerated that leaves 4.9 tons of plastic. If we gather it in place it would bigger than Mount Everest. Marine life just mistaken plastic for food. Aluminum cans are lined with plastic resin or without it, your cola would just erode within three days. Paper cups hide a thin layer of plastic too or you would not able to keep liquids in it. No plastic would mean no tea bags since they are heat-sealed with polyethylene. Without plastic, grocery shopping will be so difficult, liquids would come in glass bottles, our meats and cheese would be wrapped in paper. You would pack all your groceries in paper bags or cardboard boxes. One of the benefits of plastic packaging is that it keeps your food fresh longer, without this basic food preservation method, a lot of our food be raised or grown locally and much of it available seasonally. Organic wastes would have filled up landfills and might be a great environmental concern, our clothing would be limited to natural fibers, no polyester shoes, no nylon clothes or acrylic sweaters, etc.
2] Salt-
Many cities have been after its name, many economies have been built on it, wars have been fought for it our life depends on it. Salt may be the most important and the most divisive, mineral in history. There are more than 14000 uses of salt. It is made of two deadly elements that kill you and together, keep you alive. When keeping chlorine and sodium together we get table salt or sodium chloride. It helps in helping the body transmit nerve signals so that your muscles can contract and relax enabling your heart to pump blood. It is important for helping digestion and helps in fighting infections. In 1930s DR. Robert McCance of Cambridge University got 4 volunteers to go 10 days without salt, first, they had to sweat salt in their bodies, then he literally desalinated everything they consumed but volunteers realized that they were not able to taste, fatigue stepped in and they were tired so much that they didn't even want to eat. After 10 days they were given salty foods and within minutes they could taste.
Before leaving we learned so much new things. From every next blog, we would have this
Magnificent song of the day-
Enjoy it and till then bye.

The India Times
Hi friends! This week our exams got over. Today the 10 day festival of lord Jagannath started and today I started. Also, there is the other festival that started in the whole world which everyone is mad about.
It is the best ICC World Cup important for every cricket fan. Virat Kohli becomes the fastest cricketer to score 20,000 international runs. Rohit Sharma made 6 records in this world cup.
1] With an attacking 104 at Edgbaston, Rohit took his overall tally of world cup hundreds to five-second only behind batting great Sachin Tendulkar who hit six centuries in as many tournaments.
2] He is also the second player after Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara to register 400 in a single world cup.
3] He is the only batsman to score three double centuries in 50 over format with his highest score of 264 coming against Sri Lanka in 2014.
4] Sharma amassed 8,554 runs at an average of nearly 49 in 213 ODI matches since he made his debut in 2007.
5] He has a strike rate of 88 and has hit 26 centuries and 42 fifties in his glittering career.
So impressed by our champions there is also some news that all should know that MS Dhoni will not play the next world cup and also Yuvraj Singh is leaving international cricket.
Tech Tactfully wishes best of Luck to team India for there World Cup.

World Environment Day
Are you still thinking that is it true but it is? Now let us see the GREEN HEROES of India who thought of making a Green Difference. Last year I wrote on Jadav Payeng of Assam. But, I will also tell you about many unknown heroes.
1] ISHA BLOKHRA-
She is just 7 years old and lived in New Jersey and traveled to India with a mission of planting 750 trees. She was worried about climate change and global warming. Through the Daler Mehndi Green Drive, her family managed to grow 250 trees in Delhi. She took an initiative on her father's birthday and told him "On your birthday, you are actually celebrating living one more year on planet Earth. So what can we do to thank the planet? Let's grow a tree. My teachers told a tree gives oxygen to six people for life, "Isha told her father.
Now just think that even just a 7-year-old girl can think about this wonderful initiative which even us cannot ever think of.
2] SHYAM SUNDAR JYANI-
