Forest fire   I was going to uttarakhand this summer holidays but the plan got cancelled due to forest fires raging in that area. I was so unhappy and desolated that after such a tiring year I got an opportunity to go on a vacation and this disaster occurs. When I saw the reports and the aftermath of the disaster in uattrakhand,I was shocked and tried o find out how this type of disaster occurs.       A forest fire also known as wildfire is an uncontrolled fire in an area of combustible vegetation. It can be caused by lightning, human carelessness, slash and burn agriculture, heat waves and drought. The most common way now a days is human carelessness.  People can start a forest fire when they are out camping and start camp fires. Wind comes and blows some ashes from the fire on dry leaves and the next minute the whole forest is on fire. Forest fires are also commonly caused by slash and burn agriculture where people use fire to clear the land and make soil m...

     Hope                                                                  Hope is a catalyst for life. If one does not hope or dream then life would become stagnant. People hope for better things and that drives people to do wondrous things. Hope is very important. Hope can help come out of a bad circumstance and I believe that it strengthens our mind to come out of that bad circumstance. But people shouldn’t hope for everything and not do anything then blame fate for not letting that desired thing to take place in your life. One should hope no problem but then try to imagine how one would feel when the thing is done and thereby doing things which will help you reach your desired thing that you hoped for. Sometimes for refugees, they have only hope and I believe that there is luck and one becomes lucky. O...

                                                              Togetherness No one is individual, even if we presume that we are. We all live in a society and sometimes we need company. People need someone to confide to and need someone to share things to. If we are together then we are strong and even if we pretend we don’t care, believe me everyone cares a lot of what people think of them, their reactions, comments and trust are all things that people really care about. “Many leaves, one tree” this is a quote from animated film called “Epic”. Even if we are different, like different leaves of a tree, we belong to the same community or the tree. We are all part of this community and we want a feeling that is a sense of belongingness. But anything in excess is harmful. If people always live together then they will hesitate in send...

An elongated sleek piece having sharpness and tapering towards its ends.  A yellow ochre-coloured body with a tinge of dullness in it. The mid-line in it divides the piece into two symmetrical parts. The venations are reticulate and it is sun-kissed and lustrous even after so many days after the partition from its origin. This is a leaf with looks so common yet it is uncommon. The leaf has parted yet is looking intact. The ochre colour depicts the majestic appearance of desert palaces. It has a poignant view and is full of stories of its journey and I wish it had a voice to tell me what all it has seen and experienced. This leaf has a journey, a destiny to fulfil and I wish that it will enjoy its journey. We part away from things but it is just a matter of time. Time has many things to show us and let us gain new experiences and enrich our life like it has done with leaf’s life.

Pliant mind I met a girl The conversation was pleasant She was tall, elegant and brown curls I thought she was good and decent. Later I told my friends           About my new acquaintance                Every detail till the meeting end                                            But by her description they showed reluctance. They told me she was a cruel person Lying, rude and god knows what They wanted me to shun Her presence as she was hated by my lot. So I met her again With preconception I thought she was a pain So I had unfriendly conversation. Later I was talking to my teacher Unknowingly this new girl topic arose My t...

A big blue planet, lifeless and cold. It seems that nothing moves within it, when I view it from my telescopic window. Elders of our community tell us that this lifeless blue planet was called Earth. Lots of beings(living as well as non living) thrived on it. Human beings flourished and evolved on it. They used the natural resources present on the Earth to develop new technologies but human beings had a tendency to overuse those resources and then wanting more. This sense on unsatisfaction gradually led to depletion of the resources. Scientists and environmentalists persistently warned the human society but they didn't heed the warning. Some scientists and environmentalists started looking for a planet suitable for life.At last after continuous research they found a planet and started moving onto that planet. My grandparents were one of the people who agreed to go to that planet. After a year the Earth was destroyed due to floods, deforestation, volcanic eruption etc. like...

Lights camera action!!!!! When we think about a film, these words are the first to pop up along with actors acting in beautiful places, getting awards, earning money, making records on how much the film earned etc. Films always share something which is hidden and most people ignore them. There is a hidden layer in them. Most people go to watch a film just for entertainment. To escape from their sorrows, to see something which they always desired , just having fun or getting to know more about that topic through a film. Films are of different genres as the makers know that different people like different things. Now a days the makers produce people centric films as they want to earn profit. Films are slowly becoming a business but there are some people who love to showcase there own ideas. Some films give a good social message and also there is a parallel cinema focusing entirely on creative ideas which is not yet showcased but generally people like entertaining light films. The viewe...
