Millo

I really don’t not where to begin With tricolour fur upon his skin, And delicate folds of ear within, The warmth he brings, unlike another, A feeling akin to that of a mother. Barks made for food, his way to communicate, Completing the bond he intricately creates In the busiest days of all His presence stands, steadfast and tall. The love provided from every inch of his soul With being with me throughout is his only goal I cannot be lucky enough To see this cute creature snuf

Forever

The Cornerstone of Development- It’s the 23rd of June, 2024, and I just came back from a two-week trip to Switzerland. Regardless of the happiness I may show on social media, the trip made me realize the importance of my family, my pure stones. Throughout the trip, I felt the need to have my mum beside me, telling me it’s alright if people don’t like me, my dad who would give me much-needed advice, and my brother who would make me smile even when I don’t want to. I have reali

Sustainable Living

Sustainable living is quite popular, promoting human and environmental health through utilising renewable resources and prioritising the use of renewable resources in households, communities, lifestyles, and decision-making. It can mean different things to different individuals, ensuring the use of renewable resources without jeopardising future generations' ability to fulfil their own requirements. Sustainable living is not an exemplary system. Rather, the shift towards sust

Loop in the Country

Living in this country seems like a continuous loop of fear and frustration. The cycle of crime in our society is never-ending, a dreadful crime occurs, people object and circulate posts on social media, yet nothing changes, only for another, even more heinous crime to take place. It appears that only when a woman dies in a tragic incident does the discourse about safety begin, only to drift away after a few days and repeat indefinitely. Women are unsafe, the construction of

Tailor

In a quiet town nestled between rolling hills, a community of tailors worked tirelessly to create the perfect outfits for the residents. These tailors worked in a market known for perfect competition; none of them stood out, and every suit or dress they made was remarkably similar in quality and price. Kaira, one of these tailors, ran a small shop where she tailored clothes alongside the others. She, like her fellow tailors, was a "price taker" in this crowded market. She cou

Commonwealth Collaboration

QCEC ESSAY “A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.” The Commonwealth culture is characterized by diversity, shared history, common values, and a spirit of collaboration and cooperation. Through cultural exchange, dialogue, and mutual respect, Commonwealth nations have continued to strengthen their bonds and work towards common goals of peace, prosperity, and sustainable development. I firmly believe Commonwealth cultures are rich and diverse, althou

Mystery of tears

Despite Darwin’s claim that tears served no real need, Yet when they fall, every emotions within plead. From babies' wails to lovers’ sighs, Each drop sends a signal, a heartfelt tie. Once thought to originate from heart's deep well, Now we have discovered where their secrets dwell. They are a mixture of sorrow, joy, and strife, They connect us, exudes shared life. So let’s embrace this fluid grace, As they let us find our place. In vulnerability, we find our power, Tears bl

Operation Theatre

Why is an operation theater known as an operation theater? The term "operation theater" has an intriguing parallel to a traditional performance theater, and my analogy here strengthens the metaphorical link between the two. At first in an operating theater, surgical lights light up the central part of the scene, the patient, to ensure precision and clarity, just as stage lights do for performers. These lights are essential to the surgeon's achievement, just as they direct an

The Fractured Ties of Modern Family

In Indian society, family has always been the foundation of life. The saying "ghar kee chaar deevaaron mein hee khushiyaan hotee hain"(Happiness resides within the four walls of the home) reflects the deep-rooted belief that family is where everything begins with love, warmth, and unity. In the older generations, families were not just a group of people; they were a support system, a safety net where every member cared for the other. The emphasis was on togetherness, shared r

Tumor

I recently became addicted to the show Grey's Anatomy. From neurology to orthodontics, the series has crippled every aspect of me. One of the episodes about a tumor was probably my favorite. Life, with its origins and lessons, is a story of constant evolution. At its core, life finds a way to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. This survival instinct applies even to tumors, specifically astrocytomas. The tumor invades healthy tissue and merges with blood vessels, ada

Race of Acceptance

In the grand arena of life, there's one race that stands out above all others: the race to get into a famous college. Starting as early as 9th grade, students throw themselves into this grueling competition, a spectacle where only the most extracurricular , sports-crazed, and academically superhuman will survive. It's a race where the finish line is always moving, the stakes are always high, and the stress is always peaking. The ultimate question lingers: "Will I even get int

Becoming

Been the girl who danced through her nani’s halls, bubbly, brilliant, loved— before the world taught what silence felt like. Been the one who feared water, feared mirrors, feared being too much and never enough— and still, showed up. the girl who writes poems like blueprints, who stitches her wounds into wisdom, who names her ghosts but does not bow to them. on my way to becoming the woman my younger self drew in dreams— a force with softness, a storm with purpose, a futu

Coffee

I was found on quiet hill, Where ghost ran, wild, and time stood still. A boy saw berries, red, and bright He tasted on his heart, felt right. They burned my beans, not knowing me But smelled my throat and rising steam. They brewed me soft they brewed me strong And passed me gently all along. I crossed the sea and steady waves To lands, where monks would sit and pray. This sipped me slow through nights and days And found in me a kind of stay. In towns and streets, I made my n

Clouds

I love the clouds, set so high, so free, so proud. they call to me beyond the crowds, a place where I could float and fly aloud. Their whites like cotton candy spun, soft as dreams beneath the sun. Up here, the world’s undone, no rot, no rush just skies that run. I’d leap from bubble to bubble in the sky, stretch my arms, let my heart fly high. Wash away the pain, the sigh, feel like a child with a brand new toy to try. Oh, how pretty it all appears from here, a whispered w

More Than Marks

It was the 30th of April earlier than expected when my board results came out. The night before, I couldn’t sleep. The what-ifs kept circling: what if I didn’t meet my parents' expectations, what if I didn’t match up to my cousins, what if I failed my family? I knew I had worked hard, maybe not perfectly, but I had tried. Still, the fear of disappointing everyone of being talked about in hushed tones in the family was too much. I knew I had worked hard. Maybe not consistent

Ratan Tata

"Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive." - this quote is one of my favourite quotes of Ratan Tata. Ratan Naval Tata was an Indian industrialist and philanthropist who served as the chairman of Tata Group and Tata Sons from 1991 to 2012 and as interim chairman from October 2016 to February 2017. He was born in Mumbai, during the British Raj, into a Parsi Zoroastrian family. He graduated from Corn

Green Architecture

Honestly speaking, this is the most interesting topic I have ever found while studying environmental science. Everyone in the developed countries is well aware of what green architecture is, but this does not cover the whole world, does it? Green architecture, or green design, is an approach to building that minimises harmful effects on human health and the environment. While green architecture has gained popularity in developed countries, there is still a need for widespread
