From Pongal Vibes to Pongal Traffic

 

It was Pongal vibes on campus, and after ages, I found myself doing something that felt both exciting and challenging wearing a saree. Let’s be real, I’m not exactly a pro at draping, but major shoutout to my amazing friend Nancy for stepping in and making me look like a saree queen. Trust me, her draping skills deserve a standing ovation.  

Now, let me tell you, walking in a saree is no joke. It’s like balancing elegance and survival at the same time. But somehow, I managed to pull it off, embracing the graceful chaos. After our classes wrapped up, it was time for what we do best an impromptu photoshoot. Despite the limited crowd, the moments we captured were priceless. And honestly, isn’t posing with friends half the fun of any event?  

As the day came to a close, I quickly packed up and headed home, navigating my saree-clad self through the journey. Thankfully, I reached safely (because saree struggles are real, guys!).  

Now Packing my bags to leave for Trichy after a vibrant Pongal celebration on campus felt bittersweet. Little did I know, the day had more surprises (and challenges) in store for me.  

The journey began with the inevitable Pongal traffic chaos. Stuck in a sea of vehicles, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the festive vibes back on campus. But hey, patience is a virtue, right? Fast forward a few hours, I finally made it to Trichy, touching down at 11:30 pm.

As expected, my dad was there to pick me up always the dependable one. But this time, there was a twist. Mom was waiting in the car too!It was the sweetest surprise after a long and tiring journey. That warm, familiar hug erased all the exhaustion from the day.  

Reaching home felt like a reward in itself. The next few hours were spent catching up with my parents, sharing laughs, and soaking in the comfort of home. And now, here I am, reflecting on it all the  Pongal vibes on campus, the hustle of traffic, and the joy of being home as I type this blog.  

Some days are tiring, but they’re also the ones that leave you with moments to cherish. This was one of them. Here’s to family, festivities, and finding joy in the journey!

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . 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. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities . They have ruled over empires ably and effectively. Besides capable administration they were notable poets, scholars, artist and regional leaders .  After reading this I believe, you would feel as if on cloud 9 and yes, you would have felt kinda queer.  However, I feel subp...
