Onam Diaries #Part 2

It's of absolutely no wonder that we laughed off the idea of a virtual onam celebration!Dressing up for the camera was different in a not so good way with the fact that we could have no live games or jovial talks and the probability of discomfiture and shifting eyes posing as a dark cloud.All the online meetings for preparations for the online onam celebration went on with low traffic and the calls for activities and participations were attended to ambiguously. After all,how good could a virtual celebration be? 
Einstein's words,"God does not play dice",seems to be faltered in the philosophies and the daily life matters governing us. Expectations lead to us hoping we were not there in the first place .Plans,activities that go unnoticed in a lackadaisical way turns out to be the times we wished would never pass.If this is not a game of probability and a clash of extremes ,I don't know what is!
 That being said,the videos to songs to dances to..just talking face to face(or is it screen to screen?)proved itself to be a bonus,a novel experience that could pass as a standard Onam memory at school!!! 
Today is the big day -Thiruvonam.With festivities confined to hearts and homes,we buckle up for another Onam of perseverance that has been damped by deluge twice to a stressed melancholy of shattered dreams and aspirations pronounced by loss of lives and the will to live,oscillating between alerts of varying hues and resisting tactile affections and renewing bonds that could otherwise take lives this year... 
Yes,it is hope that leads us; 

'While there's life,there's hope!'

    Its weirdly different to celebrate festivals in rectangles.The anxiety was visible in the line along with the optimism that you look forward in the end.Only gifted people can transact vivid emotions at the same time in limired words...
    Not to forget...Happy onam��

No promises , Only hopes....

 Hello! [Please try to read it completely as I'm so in need of honest and supportive opinions:)] I have no clue as to how to begin a formal introduction for a blog. This is my very first time and...I don't know about any of the steps or methods to do this!! I'm a student who happens to be interested in writing though I don't know how much of me is a writer as I hold that title in high esteem. So basically I'm an ordinary girl in pursuit of my dreams and who is weary of people ;not so about the way they are ,but the way they choose to be, to hurt and offer lectures on why you are worthless.I've got zero confidence on where I'll reach or whether I can do it..if I can create something  or ..relish the feeling of sanginuity it offers. I've begun this quite secretly :not a soul knows I've started 'blogging'. I've actually entered this world because lately it's been just depressing for me like most of us owing to the lockdown period and the...

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

It never felt quite okay to peep into the well near my home, that triangular vessel of mystery, because anytime, I was told, the arms of an octopus residing there could strangle me, taking me with it, into the depths of darkness. Certainly, that was the longest-living nightmare that they had managed to inculcate! The crocodile in the black waters of the washing machine was short-lived comparatively! Blue sky, for me, didn’t hold just the white, puffy clouds or the birds up there! Not when Dubai or London was up there. Why else board an airplane? That particular teacher in school, who had dark rings around her eyes evoked fear in me; dark circles meant no sleep. Could she be really awake all night? Today, I look at myself, and I am amazed at how life chooses to answer some doubts-and wish they never arose in others now! Ironic, isn’t it? Definitely, children were born when that wedding knot/chain was tied. Why did some people not become parents, then? Surely, the knot should be tightene...
