Tales, Trees and Tunes


Hey, everyone! I’ve got something super exciting to share today—my very first solo train journey!  Until now, travel was always a family thing for me, but this time, it was all on me. And let me tell you, I had no idea I was this brave! 

Taking that leap into solo travel? Not easy, but so worth it. It felt like a journey of self-discovery, where every mile was a step closer to realizing, "I’ve got this." The feeling of independence hit differently—like I was uncovering a new side of myself.

Let’s talk about the vibes, though.  Picture this: a window seat, lush green trees flying past, and me, lost in the music. I never realized how therapeutic solo travel could be until now. Nature has a way of calming the mind, and in that moment, with every tree and mountain passing by, I felt like the world was giving me space to breathe and just be

Honestly, there’s something so underrated about sitting alone with your thoughts. We’re always so caught up in doing, moving, rushing—but here, I had the time to just exist. It was like hitting pause on the chaos of life for a few hours, and I needed that, especially after the whirlwind of exams.

Music was my perfect companion on this journey. With my headphones on and my playlist on shuffle, I felt like I was starring in my own travel montage. It’s funny how the right song can turn even the simplest moments into something unforgettable. 🎶

But you know what? Even with the peace and calm, there was still that excitement of seeing my parents at the end of the trip. It’s amazing how a solo journey can make you appreciate the people waiting for you even more.

This trip taught me that sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t just about proving something to others—it’s about showing yourself what you’re capable of. And honestly? I feel empowered. Even though I was tired from exams, I still made it happen. And that’s something worth celebrating by eating delicious food prepared by my mom.

Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...

Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life.
