Sometimes I wonder what my purpose is
I wonder indeed
is it to find myself or help people in need
but before I wonder and ponder deep
a notification takes away my attention
and I look at my phone to see what it has to say
and my musings are left for another day
-Niyati Parab
While I walking to my class, observing the daily chaos, I noticed a bird at the bottom of a fence. The fence surrounded a playground and was covered with a green mesh windscreen. The bird hopped a little above the fence but still couldn’t fly over the fence and because of the green windscreen mesh it couldn’t even see what was ahead of it, it hopped yet again a little higher but still couldn’t fly over, then finally the bird flew all the way to the top of the fence and lo and behold, it finally flew over the fence.
We humans also face such similar situations in our life, we take flight to reach our goals but many times we are met with severe weather conditions where we lose our way and lose sight of our goals, in such times we must persevere, we must not lose hope however bleak the circumstances, we must keep flying and navigating with all our will till we reach our goals.
We must find a way to overcome the green windscreen in front of us and fly beyond the fence, all one has to do is believe in themselves.

Thunder rumbled
an old house trembled
the children in the house shivered with fear
a weak candle lit near
it started pouring
the thunder still roaring
the children snuggled deep into a blanket
watching the rain through a window which was tinted
as their mother read them a bedtime tale
about Willy the whale
the children soon fell into a deep slumber
the thunder turning into a fading rumble

Words
Choose your words very carefully. ‘ Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will not hurt me’ , one has said this many times in one’s lifetime, it is said because the words did actually hurt, to put up a brave front we use such quotes to protect and shield us. One must understand that rain grows flowers , not thunder. So hence choose your words carefully and wisely and show kindness to others. Even in conversation, we throw loose words here and there without thinking, the other person remains unaffected by appearance but inside he’s hurting so hence it’s important to think twice before speaking.
