Seashore Splendor

 The chill, salty, pungent breeze hitting your face, the wet sand against your toes, the fun of collecting unique seashells and building sandcastles and finding sand almost everywhere at home the next day; most of us have at least, once in our lives, been to the seashore. Playing at the beach has become  way to spend quality time especially if it is with the family.

Whether it is throwing frisbees around, or making art pieces on the sand with a twig, or simply enjoying the chill, salty breeze, there is something about the beach experience. It helps us savour the beauty of the natural world. 

Another amazing thing about the beach is the food stalls set up there, dotting the shoreline. One of the 'must have' items here I would say is the spring potato. For seafood enthusiasts, the seafood stalls here, are a place where the freshest catches are transformed into masterpieces that leave a lasting impression on one's taste buds.

The food, games and the people you are with altogether makes the trip to the beach exciting and fun. The best part about visiting beaches is that, the entry is free! 

 As much as we enjoy the seashore, we must remember to not spoil the beauty of it by littering the shore with trash or dumping wastes into the water. Though we don't go on campaigns cleaning the beach, we can do our part by not littering it. 

Visiting the beach is a chance to admire the wonderful work of God, to marvel at the wonders of creation; an opportunity to ponder what the Bible says in Proverbs 8:29, where we read, "When he (God) gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:" We're reminded about God's sovereign control over the world which instills a sense of humility and reverence in our hearts.

A visit to the beach can be a tranquil retreat or a lively escape, with it's timeless allure. The rhythmic ebb and flow of the tides, the symphony of the waves serve as backdrop for contemplation. The beach is more than just a destination —it is a peaceful environment, a testament to the boundless wonders of creation.

Cultural Tapestry of Food

 Food, clothing and shelter are needed for man's survival, among which food takes the first place. Food comes from the late Old English word 'fōda' of Germanic origin, relating to the word fodder. Apart from filling us up, food plays a major role in the culture of a country, society, etc. The ingredients of a country's national dish tell us more about the country than the dish itself.  Each dish holds a story, the heritage of the place it's from. The ingredients of a dish tell us, what the place it's from is best known for. For example, India has a extremely diverse cuisine. However most of it's dishes have a flavour explosion and lots of spices related to them, thus showing India's excellency in spice  production.   In literature food can indicate status or milieu; we see references to eating tend to be symbolic; even in fiction and fantasy. The author involves scenes where the main character, enters into the fantasy world, gets to try let's say for...

Thrills and Chills of Commuting Solo

  Hi there! Welcome to my blog. Here I sprinkle my thoughts on various, random topics. Today, I wanted to write on commuting solo.  Commuting alone, for the first time that too for quite a long distance was a very exciting adventure for me. I remember the very first day of college when I caught the bus and took my seat. The bus started moving and there was this head rush I felt. The places I had seen before in that route when I travelled with my parents seemed so different. Commuting solo unveils a new perspective of the place one lives in. Be it the sky painted in changing hues of purple,pink, blue and yellow, or spotting  rainbows and uniquely shaped clouds, or just taking a power nap, all these add to the allure of solo commuting. I would be lying if I say, even today I feel the same enthusiasm and excitement as I did on the very first day of this experience. This whole thing can become mundane and a bit boring as time elapses, particularly when traversing the exact sa...

From Nerves to Cheers: A Reflection on our 'Animal Farm' Adventure.

 Recently, in my college, my class had its  'Animal Farm' day. This basically is a day when the whole class, divided into teams, performs each chapter of the novel 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, which is a part of the syllabus. It has sort of become a tradition in our college, as we heard from our seniors that they performed it in their first year as well. The day begun with most of us being a bag of nerves, worrying about how we were going to perform. The first four teams had to perform in front of our HOD. To add to this pressure, our class was informed that students from another college had come to watch our performances. The first four teams gave splendid performances.  Honestly, I remember sitting there, me and a few of my teammates hoping that our play wouldn't be lacking and that it turns out good. Then we shifted to our classroom after the first four plays were done. The other teams' plays that I got to watch, the level of  creativity was amazing. It wa...
