My Summer Experiences -2020!

As the year ends, let me take you down the memory lane through my experiences, when all ruckus began.... "the Summers of 2020." 



The summers this year started a bit early; the scorching heat of the sun made me sweating from early March itself. Even the vacations began very soon and lasted so long that it hasn’t come to an end yet. This summer, I have gone through a series of emotions and experiences that are full of contrasts. Unlike the rest of the years, after a point- I felt like I want to be in college, be with my friends, play together, attend lectures, and plan out for some activity outside. In the beginning, for a few days, I experienced Joy; I was delighted that I’ll get some time to rest and to learn something new. 

Due to the lockdown, many people started losing their jobs - the economy began to fumble - I experienced a sense of fear, anxiety, and insecurity, thinking about what will happen to us if we also go through the same financial crisis.
Since we got off from the institute, I am at my aunt’s place in the outskirts of Agra. There is a railway track behind the house. This summer, no trains were running on it- only what I could see were poor laborers migrating, covering huge distances by-foot, in flamingly hot weather- this sight gave me an experience of suffering and agony. Hearing the news of people who succumbed to corona, many great artists and actors who left the world confronted me with loss, which was fortunately not personal, still created a void within. 

By the end of June, it felt like we are about to skip a semester of our studies, but as it is well-known modern problems require modern solutions, I had my first ever experience with the online classes that were both comfortable and annoying simultaneously! No! It isn’t it that I only had terrible and awful experiences this summer; there were some happy moments too. I, my sibling, and my cousin played terrace cricket every evening with our own set of rules and boundaries, the only time of the day when I felt that everything is normal around me. 
I experienced a little bit of procrastination and remorse as well- I wished and wanted to do many things at the same time though sometimes when I was not able to decide, I just laid on the bed and ended up doing nothing fruitful. 

I am pretty sure that these are not only my summer experiences- every one of us must have had gone through similar situations and circumstances. It was an overall unforgettable summer, and a year that etched in the mind. However, at the same time, I wish never to have such summers ever again in my lifetime.

मैं जहाँ, तुम भी वहाँ।

स्रोत: गूगल  नमस्ते! मैं आप सबका प्यारा हरा-भरा तोता। आप सब जानते ही है की अभी लॉक-डाउन चल रहा है। तो इसमें मेरे मालिक भी मेरी तरह ही घर रूपी पिंजरे मैं कैद हैं। अब तो मुझे उनपर तरस आने लगा है, मेरी तरह ही उनके पास कोई काम नहीं रह गया है – उठो, खाओ, पियो और सो जाओ 😂 । मेरी ही तरह - उनको कहीं भी घूमने जाने को नहीं मिलता, अपने दोस्तों के घर जाने को नहीं मिलता, पर उनकी किस्मत फिर भी थोड़ी अच्छी है कि उनके पास फोन है, जिसकी सहायता से वह और लोगों से बातें कर सकते हैं, पर मेरे पास तो यह सुविधा भी उपलब्ध नहीं है 😅 । हाय! बेचारे मेरे मालिक, मेरी तरह ही - बाहर उड़ते हुए पक्षियों को टुकुर-टुकुर देखकर मन ही मन रोते हैं, पर एक बात तो है की आज कल वो मेरे साथ काफी समय बिताते हैं। इस बीमारी का कहर तो देखो कि हर कोई मेरी ज़िंदगी जीने पर मजबूर है, शायद इसी कारण आज कल मेरे आज़ाद दोस्त मुझे आसमान में ज़्यादा दिखते हैं। जैसे मेरे पंख किसी काम के नहीं हैं, इसी पिंजरे में फड़फड़ा कर थक जाते हैं, उसी तरह मेरे मालिक को भी आज-कल अपने हाथ किसी काम के नहीं लगते – जो ज़रा सा काम करने में भी इतराते है...

Superstitions

  “WHAT?” “So, you are telling me that you lost the job because of a random black cat who crossed the road?” “YES.” The yes made me write this article. When Advik started preparing for this job interview two years ago, every single person of our society knew that he would make it. There was no doubt about it. Never thought he would lose it for reaching late, that too because of a cat. He is one of the most amazing persons I have ever met. I look up to him so many times. Hearing something like this from him is the last thing I expected. Superstitions are not new to any of us. They have been intertwined with us since forever. The above is just one of the many examples we hear every day. Debugging Superstitions Some deny them while some worship them. It is actually a personal outlook. They are neither myths nor boons but disoriented beliefs born out of ignorance and science causalities from the past. For example, Friday the 13 th is considered bad because of unfortunate...

My Success Story

  Visiting my past, I realised that, success, usually recognized through ACCOMPLISHMENT, is a fleeting felling until a new one is added. But what makes an achievement ACCOMPLISHMENT is the emotion felt during the whole process. I’ve felt contentment, excitement, & proud, but the strongest one till date is MOTIVATION. It was 8 th session of my Bharatnatyam class & I was 10 years old. For the last 3 years I’d been trying various activities like playing a piano, UCMAS & karate but was never able to stay through the whole journey & I wasn’t sure I could last this one as well. But a conversation changed it all. That was the 1 st day when Guruji came to see how we newbies were catching up with what her protégé, Kazumi Di, had been teaching us, which included learning new poses by keeping straight & steady hands & maintaining the leg postures for minutes long. Through days I realized that this is not just a dance but it is a process which would help me establ...
