The Earth Called. She Wants Her AC Back.

Image
  The Earth Called. She Wants Her AC Back. Once upon a scorching Tuesday morning in 2025 , I opened my weather app and saw something horrifying. It said, “Feels like: oven preheated to 450°F.” I wasn’t sure if I should step outside or bake cookies on the sidewalk. That’s when it hit me — climate change isn’t coming. It already arrived, unpacked its bags, and started eating chips on our couch. ☀️ Chapter 1: The Great Meltdown (And I Don’t Mean Emotional) Remember when summers used to mean mangoes, vacations, and mild sweat? Now it means—melting makeup, power cuts, and your AC sounding like it’s crying for help. Polar bears are holding protest signs, penguins are Googling “cheap flights to Antarctica (still frozen?),” and meanwhile, we humans are arguing online about whose fault it is. Spoiler alert: It’s ours. 🌧️ Chapter 2: The Monsoon Mood Swings Rain used to be romantic — now it’s either “Oops, no rain at all” or “Surprise! Here's your annual flood.” One minute y...

🎉 Festivals in India: A Symphony of Colors, Faith, and Joy

Image
 India is not just a country; it is a living poem where every stanza is a festival, every verse a celebration, and every line painted in hues of faith, tradition, and togetherness. To speak of Indian festivities is to speak of rhythm, fragrance, light, and sound—all blending into a cultural symphony. ✨ The Palette of Colors Festivals in India are like brushstrokes on a giant canvas. Holi splashes the sky with gulal , while Diwali strings the night with lamps brighter than the stars. Eid sweetens the air with sheer korma , and Christmas drapes streets in melody and mistletoe . Every festival adds a shade, creating a masterpiece of unity in diversity. 🔔 The Rhythm of Traditions Imagine a drumbeat that never stops. From the dhol of Baisakhi fields to the conch shells of Durga Puja , from the qawwalis of Urs to the carols of Christmas Eve , India moves to the music of its festivals. Each celebration is a heartbeat—reminding us that joy, when shared, multiplies. 🌸 The Language...

Life in September 2025: After the Floods in India 🌊🇮🇳

Image
  Life in September 2025: After the Floods in India 🌊🇮🇳 September 2025 feels heavier than usual. The monsoon has ended, but its scars remain. India has once again witnessed floods across several states—rivers overflowing, villages submerged, and millions displaced. The rains have left behind not just water, but silence, loss, and resilience. Streets That Became Rivers In cities, the rains blurred the line between road and river. Cars floated like abandoned boats, power lines dangled dangerously, and metro services stopped for days. For families who lost their homes, “normal life” has become a distant dream. Schools that should have reopened in September now function as relief camps. Rural India: The Double Burden For farmers, the floods didn’t just wash away homes—they washed away hope. Standing crops of paddy, maize, and sugarcane have been flattened. Livestock drowned, fields are still waterlogged, and with them, an entire season of income is gone. Rural children are walk...

  🌸 Love & Relationships in 2025: Challenges, Growth, and a Story of Hope Relationships in 2025 look very different than they did a decade ago. Technology, fast-paced lifestyles, and changing priorities have reshaped how people connect, fall in love, and even handle conflicts. While dating apps, long-distance video calls, and AI-driven match suggestions have made finding someone easier, staying connected at the heart has become the real challenge. 💔 The Problems Couples Face in 2025 Digital Distractions Partners spend more time scrolling feeds than looking into each other’s eyes. “Quality time” often turns into sitting together but being lost in different worlds of screens. Fear of Commitment With endless options online, many people hesitate to settle down, worrying that someone “better” might come along.

The Never-Ending Marathon

Image
  The Never-Ending Marathon In India, preparing for government exams is not just a phase of life — it’s a full-time career in itself. Students spend their early 20s buried in books, living off Maggi and mock tests, while relatives play the role of “examination supervisors” every time you step out of the house. The underlying dream? A stable government job or the much-coveted title of Professor . Sounds glorious, doesn’t it? Except the path feels less like an academic journey and more like a marathon with no finish line . The Problem Nobody Talks About You clear one exam, and suddenly, another one is waiting — NET, JRF, SET, PhD entrance, interviews, post-doc . The system has designed academia like a video game: every time you think you’ve reached the final boss, a hidden level appears. And let’s not forget the bureaucracy — where appointments move slower than buffering on 2G internet. By the time many aspirants finally land a professor’s chair, their students are almost the same...
