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...

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...

Do you know our minds are being read?

 Do you know our minds are being read? I'm not talking about actual mind reading here, but something very close to it. If you're guess is AI or the internet or anything social media related, then yes, you're right.  When you type something in your search engine, even when you are halfway through, whatever you are about to search shows up in the suggestions. Have you ever wondered how? I'm not putting forth a conspiracy theory. Do you know there is actually an academic course based on this? It's called Data Analytics. This is a branch of Data Science, that collects data from people, analysis it and helps the business owner alter his business according to the likes and dislikes of the customers.  The same goes for social media. Everything we say is being recorded, the data we watch is noted down and we allow the device to do so by agreeing to the apps' terms and conditions. If you watch a video about a vacuum cleaner, or speak about it in the presence of our mobil...
