          Memorable day   H ello, friends! I am thrilled to share with you all  my wonderful experience today. Yes, I have published my poetry book. This is my first book, which feels like my own newborn baby. I would like to thank each and every one of you who motivated, helped, and inspired me to write and publish it. My friends Dhanushkumar, Nikita, Varsha, Belinda, Ranjitha, Abraham, and I had an electrifying discussion with our inspiring Professor, Dr. Samuel Rufus. He is one of the main reasons for providing such an opportunity for students like me to showcase our talents. We had an Espresso coffee, which was similar to our electrifying talk. The moment my book was published was truly memorable. Initially, I was worried and struggled a lot to take the first step. But once I started, it was like nectar that I wanted to taste again and again. Now, it is not really that tough to write a poem. It is very important that every poem is connected with fe...

Bombay Chutney Usually, my mom and dad used to cook together and make many dishes. They would also create different dishes on their own. Similarly, I like many of their dishes, but one, "Bombay Chutney," is close to my heart. My dad used to cook well because when he was a bachelor, he used to cook on his own. He mostly avoided eating in hotels or restaurants. My mom doesn't know how to cook. My dad taught cooking to my mom after marriage. However, I don't like one of the dishes which my dad used to cook, which is nothing but Arisi upma. You may think this dish is made out of rava, but absolutely not. This is made out of rice. So coming to this Bombay Chutney, this is my dad's recipe and my mom's dish. Several years before, my dad got transferred to Cuddalore from his office. We had our own house there, so my dad used to be there and go to the office regularly. He had an induction stove and some necessary utensils. So he used to cook on his own and visit us eve...

One of my weird experiences from primary schooling - Part 2 So now, the students from the entire building were gathered on the ground, and I noticed that the whole school was evacuating. It seemed like an emergency alert. All the teachers were grouped together, and one of them came forward to explain the reason for the current situation and what needed to be done next. She mentioned that they had received an earthquake alert from the government and needed to safely send the children back to their respective homes and close the school. Additionally, she informed us that our school had experienced very mild earthquake symptoms. We were shocked to hear the news and inquired about the exams that were scheduled for that day, which had been interrupted. I realize it may seem childish, as we were kids at the time, but we were eager to know about our exams, especially the Maths exam. The teacher reassured us that the exams had been postponed to another day and instructed us to leave for home i...

One of my weird experiences from primary schooling - Part 1 After reading my blogs like "Mysteries of My School Part 1 and Part 2," you may think that this girl's school is typically a weird and horrendous school. However, that is not the case. Actually, my school is not horrendous, but I can say that my primary schooling was really odd. I experienced a lot of things during that time. I would like to share one of my weird experiences with you in this blog. I don't remember whether I was in my third or fifth grade, but it was during my primary schooling. I was writing my Maths exam when suddenly many students started shouting and running in the corridor. We all stopped writing our exams, and the teacher who was supervising the examination was in shock. She didn't know what was happening outside and asked us to maintain silence and continue writing our Maths exam. However, we were not in the mood to write our exams; instead, we were curious to know what was happenin...

Importance of Responsibility A man enters an office to attend an interview. He passes through the office gate and notices that water from a hose is being wasted instead of watering the plants in the garden. The gardener is not taking care of this. He closes the valve of the water hose and continues into the office. Upon entering, he sees that the entrance mat is not in the proper place, so he adjusts it. Inside, he notices that lights and fans are on wastefully with no one working there. He switches them off and climbs the steps to the room where the interview is being held. There, he sees a photo hanging upside down and corrects its position. He then proceeds to the interview room, where he learns that the interviewer rejects everyone. Nervous, he enters when called. The interviewer warmly welcomes him and informs him that he has been appointed as a manager without even asking a single question. Overwhelmed with happiness and shock, he asks for the reason behind his appointment. The i...
