Day 15(Speaking up for what you believe or what you feel right is not a waste of time)

Today I spoke in class for quite some time after a long time. Meekha ma'am continued the exercise of sharing the experiences of a favourite and not-so-favourite teacher. I had the opportunity to discuss my Navodaya school experience. For the first time in my life, I spoke openly about the trauma created by some teachers' actions. Even though I have achieved several qualities in my life from Navodaya, I am still affected by their certain remarks and actions. I'm still in touch with some of my Navodaya teachers and share my proudest moments with them. Aside from that, I learned the value of teamwork. A year in Madhya Pradesh allowed me to learn about another culture and lifestyle. I recall how we managed to live without electricity or water 24×7. We used to collect the water beforehand because it would only be available for a limited time. My navodaya life is a unique experience for me, and it is the best part of my life. 

I also mentioned the Institute of English, where I received my PG in English Language and Literature and learned the importance of unlearning some conditioned notions. Each of the institute's teachers taught me something distinct that I had not learned in other places. Our voices were always heard by the professors, and we were not condemned based on the length of our clothes or regarding anything. I learned at the institute that speaking up for what you think or what you feel is right is not a waste of time. Even if some of our concepts are erroneous or inaccurate, only by having a dialogue we can comprehend the intricacies and complexities of our argument. This day reinforced my belief that every life experience contributes to the beneficial development of our character.

The vibrant pookalams and lively dances were mere backdrops to the laughter and stories shared among friends. The Onasadya, with its myriad flavors, mirrored the diverse personalities and memories we'd gathered. As we sat on the college grounds, relishing the feast and teasing one another, it was evident: Onam wasn’t just a celebration of harvest, but of the friendships that had grown and thrived. Even as college ends, these Onam memories will remain, reminding us of the ties that bind.

The Magic of Locomotive Rhythm and the Beauty of Travel

Image
It was a day unlike any other in our literature class. Ancy ma'am walked in for general observation. Today was the day we were diving deep into the realms of locomotive rhythm, and the poem 'From a Railway Carriage'. As the verses unfolded, one could almost hear the chug-chug of the train, feel the rush of the wind against one's face, and visualize the rapidly changing landscapes. The students sat there, eyes wide and hearts captivated. It was evident - they weren't just learning about the poem; they were experiencing it. But what made this session even more memorable was an unexpected twist. Ancy ma'am played the song from the iconic Bollywood movie, 'Dil Se'. The rhythmic beat, reminiscent of a train's motion, served as a perfect illustration of the locomotive rhythm. The fusion of poetry and cinema not only made the lesson more relatable but also showcased the vast influence of this rhythm in various art forms. What followed was an ava...
